Case Study: £10,300 Settlement Following Workplace Trip Accident
Our team at What’s My Claim Worth successfully secured a compensation settlement of £10,300 for our client, Ms J, a 23-year-old retail assistant who was injured while working at a department store in Knightsbridge, London.
Ms J was working behind the tills when she tripped over a shopping bag that had been left on the floor in a staff walkway. The bags, supplied by the store, had not been stored appropriately, creating a foreseeable tripping hazard.
As a result of the fall, Ms J sustained injuries to her wrist and knee. Although a fracture was initially suspected, medical investigations later confirmed soft tissue injuries. Despite this, she experienced ongoing pain and reduced mobility, which led to an absence from work of approximately three months.
During this period, Ms J did not receive her full salary, resulting in a loss of earnings, which formed part of her claim.
Our Solicitors pursued a claim against her employer on the basis of negligence and breach of statutory duty, given their responsibility to maintain a safe working environment. Liability was accepted by the employer’s insurers, and we secured a settlement of £10,300 to reflect both her injuries and associated financial losses.
