When a cleaning lady was injured by her mop at work, Bartletts Solicitors in Wrexham helped her win the compensation she deserved.

The 21-year-old cleaner was mopping the floor when the mop handle snapped in her hand. Her hand was cut by the broken mop end, leaving her with a deep laceration and bleeding.

She went to the accident and emergency department of her local hospital to have her wound treated. She received stitches to her hand and was in a considerable amount of pain. She was unable to clench her fist for some time after the accident, and was unable to work for some time. After the wound had healed, the lady was left with permanent scarring on her hand and needed a course of physiotherapy to help her regain mobility.

Accidents at work can happen for a variety of reasons but when an accident happens because your equipment lets you down, no matter how small, you will need to establish who is responsible.

Employers have a duty of care to ensure equipment that is provided at work is of a satisfactory standard. This applies wherever you are working, even if you are working remotely.

Our expert personal injury lawyer in Wrexham established that the cleaning lady was covered by her employer’s liability insurance, and quickly helped her secure her claim for compensation. As part of the personal injury settlement, we successfully negotiated compensation for loss of earnings, psychological effects, and medication.

When a car collision left an elderly gentleman with whiplash injuries, Bartletts specialist personal injury solicitors in Wrexham helped him win compensation.

The 70-year-old gentleman came to see one of our expert personal injury solicitors after his stationary car was struck by another vehicle. The gentleman was sat in the driving seat of his car, parked in a car park, when another car reversed into the back of his car.

The gentleman was thrown forward in his car by the force of the shunt. An ambulance was called to the scene and he was taken to the accident and emergency department of the local hospital. He was diagnosed with soft tissue injuries to his neck and back, and suffering from whiplash.

When the gentleman came to see Bartletts following the accident, he was still in a lot of pain. We arranged for him to get a full medical and he was prescribed a course of physiotherapy to help him regain the mobility had lost because of the accident. He was also suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and severe travel anxiety for which we helped him get cognitive behavioural therapy.

Bartletts quickly helped the retired gentleman claim compensation for his personal injuries from the other car driver’s insurance company. He also secured compensation for psychological effects of the accident as well as recovering the costs of physiotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy.
