Accidents at Work

The Liverpool Echo reports that a former chip shop employee is seeking £1million in compensation having slipped on a wet surface whilst she was at work. 

It is stated that Sylvia Cheung was at the end of the her shift at the Yang Sing takeaway back in 2008 when she slipped and sustained severe injuries to her head and spinal cord.  Unfortunately, it would appear that Ms Cheung will have to use a wheelchair for the rest of her life, and will subsequently need care and assistance.  At the High Court, Judge John Leighton Williams QC found that Miss Cheung was 15% responsible for the accident as she knew the floor was slippery and ‘should have been aware of the risk’, but found that the chip shop had breached health and safety regulations and was therefore 85% liable for the accident.

If you sustained a particularly serious injury as a result of an accident for which you were not responsible, you may be entitled to compensation in a similar sum to what Miss Cheung is claiming.  When you are dealing with such sums of money, it becomes especially apparent that you need to have a specialist, quality, professional injury lawyer with years of experience on your side.  It could well be the difference between thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of pounds, in compensation for you.
