£8,500 for Injured Factory Worker

Mr K was working in a factory when, as a result of his employer’s negligence, chemicals were splashed in his eye resulting in both vision problems and irritation.

James Winterbottom of Aston Knight Solicitors first secured an admission of liability before obtaining a medical report from a specialist eye doctor.

Although the medical evidence was supportive, the employer’s insurance company refused to make reasonable settlement offers and so James issued court proceedings to ensure a fair settlement. In court proceedings James was able to negotiate a settlement of £8,500.00.
