£5,815 for Delivery Driver Slip on Ice

Charlie is employed as a driver for a haulage company and one of his duties involves collecting water on a daily basis from the premises of customers. 

Last winter in the snow Charlie arrived at 3.30 in the morning at one customer’s premises and drove his vehicle into the loading bay. He got out of his vehicle and slipped on the icey ground injuring his knees. The whole loading area at that time was covered in ice and Charlie told us that in the days leading up to the 5^th January when he fell he had advised staff on a number of occasions at the loading bay about the danger with the ice on the ground and he recommended that they put salt down on it.
