Forbes secures £40,000 settlement for injured labourer ladder fall

The incident occurred when the Claimant ascended a ladder at work, when accessing the upper level of scaffolding. The ladder unexpectedly sank into the ground, causing the labourer to lose balance and fall. As a result, the Claimant suffered multiple injuries, bruising and swelling to the back of the head, a sprained left shoulder, arm, and wrist, soft tissue damage to the lower back, bruising to the left knee, and a complex medial meniscal tear alongside an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury.

 Following the accident, the Claimant reached out to Forbes Solicitors to pursue a personal injury claim. Upon contacting the employer, liability was promptly admitted. The Claimant received an interim payment to cover the cost of surgery, which included an arthroscopy and meniscectomy.

 The case was brought to court proceedings and ultimately settled for £40,000. The settlement was secured by John Bennett, a leading Personal Injury expert at Forbes Solicitors, ensuring the Claimant received fair compensation for the injuries and ongoing medical treatment.
