£6,000 Compensation for Injury in Company Grounds

Following a change in work premises Teresa was required to work temporarily in a portakabin.

Access to the portakabin was along a small pathway but because of the building works at her place of employment part of the pathway had been removed which resulted in Teresa falling in the paving ‘gap’. She injured her left knee and lower back and medical evidence showed that the fall had brought forward degenerative change in her knee. A settlement was agreed following Court proceedings.
