Successful Accident at Work Claims

Below, you will find just a small selection of some of the personal injury claims Sharon has dealt with in the Oxford office.

Slipped on ice at work

Sharon's client in this case was a man who slipped on ice while at work.  The outdoor areas of the workplace had not been treated despite the fact that they were exposed to the elements and were well used by employees throughout the working day.

Sharon's client slipped on the ice and injured his wrist.  Sharon made a personal injury claim against his employers and the injured worker was awarded compensation.

Head Injury sustained at work

In this case, Sharon's client was a man operating an automatic robot-welding machine at work.  A spark from the welding process hit an overhead light which shattered causing glass and other pieces of debris to land on the man's head.

The man's employers admitted liability for the accident as they should have carried out a risk assessment of the job and the working area which would have identified the risk of a spark causing damage to the overhead lights.  Sharon recovered £2,000 compensation for her client in this case.

Lack of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) lead to infection

Sharon's client in this case was working for a local council and part of his job was to deliver sandbags to local houses when there was a flood alert.  The man had not been provided with any Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) but despite this was expected to wade through floodwater.

The worker wasn't wearing waders or waterproof boots and he went on to develop an infection from being exposed to raw sewage.  Sharon was successful in recovering compensation for her client from his employers.
