£9,000 Compensation for Delivery Driver

Stuart was a delivery driver who was injured when he had to park his lorry on a steep gradient when making a delivery.

He used a pump truck to remove the pallet from the back of his vehicle but because of the steep gradient both the pump truck and pallet rolled out of the vehicle, Stuart tried to stop them and as he did so he injured his left arm.  There was nowhere else for him to park and we argued on his behalf that this was a foreseeable accident waiting to happen. Liability was denied throughout by Stuart’s employers and Court proceedings commenced.

Although his employers continued to deny liability we achieved a settlement of £9000 for Stuart. Stuart’s claim had previously been rejected by another firm of Solicitors who did not think he would win his case.
