Mr Flores was at his workplace unloading wooden pallets from a truck when several heavy objects fell from a height. This caused him to fall backwards and sustain a crush injury.
Mr Flores suffered fractures to his shinbone, calf bone (tibia-fibula), heel (calcaneal) and ankle, with an injury to his foot that required skin grafting, leaving him with permanent scarring.
the Orthopaedic Surgeon who examined him recommended he avoids any future job involving repetitive heavy manual activity. Therefore he suffered from what is known as a ‘disadvantage on the open labour market’, which meant a change in his career.
Mr Flores found a personal injury Solicitor on Compare Compensation Claims, who arranged for consultations with Consultant Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon and an Orthopaedic Surgeon.
The Defendants denied any responsibility for the accident. However, the accident Solicitor used their experience and expertise to prove liability and were able to negotiate accident compensation totalling £124,000.
