slipping accident - case study

Our client was an Occupational Health Nurse Manager who slipped and fell due to water on the cloakroom floor. As a consequence of the fall, she sustained injuries to her neck, right arm and lower back.

As a result, proceedings were issued. There was a risk that our client could be made redundant and therefore the claim was stayed for one year because a consequence of her injuries would have meant she was unlikely to find alternative employment. She had five more years to go until retirement.

Fortunately, her employment became secure.

outcome: Our client settled out of court for £12,500.
