Compensation for client injured at home after builder’s negligence

28 May 2009

We acted for our client who broke his arm when the builders working on an extension to his property left hazardous building materials without providing sufficient notice or warning.

What we did

Shoosmiths was appointed to act on a no-win-no-fee basis and recovered compensation for pain and suffering, together with loss of earnings.

Background

The accident occurred when our client’s builders left building material – in particular, boards – lying around without providing sufficient warning of the dangers. Our client slipped on the boards, resulting in a broken arm. Our client, who is self-employed, was unable to work for approximately four weeks, returning part-time for two weeks. We recovered loss of earnings as a result.

Case handler

This case was handled by Joanne Jefferies, a solicitor in the Serious Injuries Unit, at our Basingstoke office.  Joanne has particular expertise in serious and catastrophic injuries.
