Following an accident at work, a local man decided to make a claim for compensation – and with the help of Matthew Hunt, a lawyer at the Wrexham office of Bartletts Solicitors, he succeeded.
The claimant suffered physical injuries and psychological trauma after tripping on a pallet and falling, while at work. Together with the help of colleagues in the local Bartletts office, Matthew Hunt worked on this case to secure compensation and damages for the 40-year-old’s injuries to his ankle’s ligaments and tendons as well as contusions and associated psychological trauma.
A pallet had been left in the middle of a walkway by another staff member and was not clearly marked – there were no warning signs to indicate it was there. The claimant fell after tripping over the unmarked pallet and suffered various injuries.
He sprained his ankle in the accident, causing damage to his ligaments and tendons, and suffered contusions.
Medical records and expert reports from a foot and ankle specialist surgeon supported the claim that the aircraft fitter’s injuries were consistent with the fall and not due to any pre-existing conditions.
The claimant needed reconstructive surgery on his ankle to repair ligaments and tendons in his foot. He also needed physiotherapy to regain strength, flexibility and range of motion.
Fortunately, he got in touch with the specialist personal injury team at Bartletts Wrexham and explained his accident and injuries to Matthew Hunt who made an accident at work claim on his behalf for compensation. He achieved a full recovery with the aid of the surgery and physiotherapy funded by Bartletts during the case.
In total, he was awarded £10,000 in compensation for his physical and psychological injuries as well as £5,000 for surgery costs and £2,000 for physiotherapy costs.
Bartletts Solicitors has an outstanding reputation for helping clients to secure the compensation they deserve – and the Wrexham office is proud to have succeeded in this recent case to help the local man recover from his injuries.
