The Injury Lawyers win £14,000 settlement for ladder fall at work claim

An ambulance was called to the scene and our client was taken to A&E and provided with crutches and a split. We’re pleased to have now settled the claim for just over £14,000 to reflect the injuries and losses our client suffered.
