The Oxford Mail has reported that a self-employed builder has been awarded over one million pounds in compensation having suffered a horrific injury whilst working on a building site. It is said that Dean Winstone sustained spinal injuries having tripped and fallen from scaffolding whilst doing up someone’s home back in 2007. Mr Winston is now paraplegic and requires the use of a wheelchair fulltime. Mr Winston was in hospital for over a month initially, and has been there back and forth for nearly two years. Sadly for Mr Winstone he will never be able to work again.
Mr Winstone was awarded £1.25million in compensation this week by a judge in the High Court in London. This is to help put Mr Winstone back in the position he would have been in had the accident not have occurred. In other words he was compensated for his terrible spinal injuries and his future loss of earnings that have resulted from him not being able to work again because of the nature of the injuries he suffered.
In fact, the compensation also takes into account the fact that Mr Winstone will need further medical treatment in the future. So part of this £1.25million is to help him pay for those future medical costs. This was necessary because the medical experts that have aided Mr Winstone’s recovery have noted that he is likely to need a greater amount of help in the future owing to the worsening of his condition as he gets older.
