Head Injury at Work

Our client was working in a kitchen, moving a delivery into a kitchen storage area, the storage was a shelving unit with three shelves. As the client went to collect a container from the bottom shelf, an empty container fell from the top shelf and landed on the back of our clients head.

The client has suffered ongoing pain and stiffness in their head and neck. The injury caused the client to have 5 weeks off work, a claim for loss of earning was made for this. The claim was settled in November 2021 for £3,500 which included loss of earnings and travel and parking expenses.
