Damages Recovered For Care Worker Following Work Accident
The client worked in a residential home where she was required to stay overnight and be on call to react in the event of an emergency. This required her to descend from her quarters, down a precarious and narrow staircase, in order to attend to residents in need of assistance.
One night, she was reacting to such a call for help, but on descending the staircase she slipped and fell down the stairwell to the ground, sustaining injuries to her back and shoulder.
Moore Blatch were instructed by the client to bring an personal injury claim against her employer, on a 'no win, no fee' basis. The employer admitted to providing an unsafe system of work, and Moore Blatch successfully recovered compensation of £57, 000.00 for the client.
