Ringrose Law’s dedicated Personal Injury Team unravelled a tale of negligence that resulted in a severe back injury, and after a tireless fight, secured justice for the aggrieved in a compensation pay out in the tens of thousands of pounds.
Our client was employed as a warehouse operative, and during his work he was required to lift boxes which were in excess of the recommended safe lifting weight for individuals. Other colleagues had injured their backs previously carrying out the same job, and the employers were aware of the risks of physical injury from this manual handling task however, sufficient improvements were not made nor was sufficient mechanical or colleague assistance provided, and consequently, our client sustained a compression nerve injury to his spine.
What followed was a series of disheartening denials. Despite clear evidence of negligence, the insurers of the employer initially shrugged off the claim. When court proceedings loomed over their heads, their solicitors followed suit, ignoring the glaring evidence, and dismissing our client’s pain. But Ringrose Law was determined. As experts in work-related accidents, especially those arising from lifting and manual handling, they remained resolute, advocating for their client’s rights and their persistence bore fruit. After an exhaustive battle, the opposition accepted their responsibility.
It’s victories like these that stand as a testament to Ringrose Law’s commitment to the cause.
