Apprentice Welder Wins £45,000 After Angle Grinder Accident

In 2024, an apprentice welder fabricator suffered a serious injury while using a handheld electric angle grinder. While waiting for the grinder to power down, they were distracted by their supervisor and accidentally came into contact with the tool, resulting in a deep laceration and lasting scar on their forearm.

Following the accident, the Claimant approached Forbes Solicitors to pursue a personal injury claim.

The Defendant admitted liability but did not provide an interim payment. Legal proceedings were issued, and the Claimant was required to provide proof of their losses.

Thanks to efficient negotiations led by John Bennett, one of Forbes Solicitors’ personal injury experts, the case was swiftly resolved with a settlement of £45,000.
