In this case our client sustained a significant injury to her right hand index finger whilst at work as a waitress in November 2008.

Whilst going about the course of her duties carrying some glasses, our client slipped on some wet lino flooring and as a result of the slip the glasses came together and smashed. As a result, she sustained a laceration to her right hand index finger, severing a tendon and digital nerve within that finger. In addition to the injuries, our client lost earnings.

A Letter of Claim was sent to the third party in the early part of 2008 and whilst the third party representatives initially tried to argue that our client should accept some blame for the accident (known as contributory negligence), we were shortly thereafter able to secure a full admission of liability.

Once medical evidence had been obtained, our client’s claim was settled for £11,500.00.
