Claim for serious injuries as a result of an accident at work when the client’s hand was trapped in machinery almost requiring amputation at the scene to free him.

As a result, he suffered a serious hand and wrist injury as a result of which the specialist hand surgeon instructed by me agreed he should be classed as ‘disabled’ under the Equality Act 2010 which opened up the possibility of a very large claim for future losses even though client made a remarkable recovery from the serious injuries sustained.

Compensation also recovered for psychological injuries as a result of the accident. Settlement achieved £130,000.
