Work related accidents and subsequent accident claims could often be avoided. Recently a man has received compensation after breaking his arm in an accident which took place in a factory in Staffordshire. The man was carrying out tests on a vehicle when a faulty step caused him to fall and break his arm.

The man had to have two operations on his arm and he needed more than a year off work to recover from his injuries. He now has 30% disability in his arm.

He has been able to work but in a different role. His employers admitted liability and made a substantial out of court settlement.
