A fireman is attempting to make a personal injury compensation claim of approximately half a million pounds after he was injured whilst attending a house fire.

The incident happened back in February 2008 when the fireman received 35% burns whilst attending a blaze in which a woman died.

The fireman claims that his colleagues were issued with the wrong instructions and as a result the fire intensified.

The fireman spent 10 weeks in a specialist burns unit and has undergone several operations and skin grafts.

If you have been injured in a work related accident which was not your fault you could be entitled to make a personal injury claim and you should contact an experience personal injury lawyer.
