£10,900 compensation secured for local client after workplace accident

Mrs. S, a dedicated housekeeper at a well-known hotel chain, was injured while carrying out her duties when she attempted to move a bed. Unbeknownst to her, the bed had faulty wheels, causing it to shift unexpectedly. As a result, Mrs. S suffered a jarring injury to her right knee, leading to a painful sprain that significantly impacted her ability to work and carry out daily activities.

Upon instructing Aston Knight, we acted swiftly to investigate the circumstances of the accident. Recognising the hotel’s failure to maintain safe working conditions, we secured an early admission of liability, ensuring that Mrs. S would receive the compensation and support she deserved.

To aid her recovery, we sought the expert opinion of a specialist knee surgeon, who recommended a tailored course of treatment, including steroid injections and private physiotherapy sessions. By arranging these treatments promptly on Mrs. S’s behalf, we were able to accelerate her rehabilitation process, allowing her to regain mobility and return to her normal activities much sooner than expected.

Mrs. S achieved a full recovery within approximately 2.5 years, at which point we successfully negotiated a £10,900 settlement. She was delighted with both the outcome and the support received throughout the process.

Senior Solicitor Andrew Thompson commented:

“This case demonstrates Aston Knight’s commitment not only to securing strong financial results for our clients but also to prioritising their rehabilitation and well-being. By ensuring Mrs. S had access to the best possible treatment, we helped her return to her pre-accident level of functioning as quickly as possible. It’s a great example of how legal representation can make a real difference beyond just compensation”.
