Work accident victim challenges employers
A lift engineer has launched a claim for £750,000 in personal
injury compensation after an accident at work left him with broken
bones.
George Harrison was operating a lift in East Sussex when he fell
several metres three years ago, fracturing his leg and shoulder in
the process, according to the Hastings & St Leonards
Observer.
The platform he was working on gave way beneath him, causing him
to fall to the bottom of deep shaft in Hastings' Halton Heights
building. As a result, Mr Harrison took months off work to recover
from his injuries.
But in addition to his broken bones, Mr Harrison also had to
undergo complex and extensive plastic surgery to repair damage
caused to his face. Consequently, he now suffers with low
self-esteem on a daily basis.
But with the help of expert personal injury solicitors, the
36-year-old is seeking significant damages from his former
employer, global operators Otis, to the tune of £750,000 in
personal injury compensation.
