A teacher who suffered personal injuries following an accident during his stay at a hotel has been awarded compensation after making a claim with the help of Owain Dodd, a lawyer at the Wrexham office of Bartletts Solicitors.
Owain worked on this case to help the 42-year-old teacher secure compensation for his injuries to his hand and wrist as a result of a heavy cabinet falling on him in the reception area of the hotel.
During his stay at a hotel, a heavy cabinet fell on the claimant when he was in reception and crushed his arm and hand. He suffered soft tissue injuries in his hand and fractured the radius bone in his wrist.
He needed an X-ray, plaster for his wrist, and physio for his hand and wrist. It took almost two years for the injuries to settle and for the teacher to regain full movement in his hand and wrist.
Fortunately, he got in touch with the specialist personal injury team at Bartletts Solicitors in Wrexham. He explained his accident and injuries to Owain Dodd who made a claim on his behalf for compensation. Under the Occupiers Liability Act 1957, premises must be ‘reasonably safe for lawful visitors’ – and Owain successfully argued that this had not been his client’s experience.
In total, he was awarded £12,000 in compensation for his personal injuries, loss of earnings and private physio costs.
Bartletts Solicitors has an outstanding reputation for helping clients to secure the compensation they deserve. The Wrexham office is proud to have succeeded in this recent personal injury case to help the local teacher. Thanks to winning the case, the teacher is able to enjoy full movement in his hand and wrist once again.
