Harry, a factory worker in Co. Antrim, was severely injured in a workplace accident. On the day of the incident, Harry was performing his usual duties on the factory floor when a colleague, working on an elevated platform, accidentally dropped a large, heavy object from above. The object struck Harry directly on his leg and arm, causing him to fall to the ground in immense pain.
Following the impact, Harry was immediately rushed to the hospital, where it was confirmed that he had sustained serious injuries. His leg was significantly injured and he suffered from extensive bruising and soft tissue damage.
Due to the severity of his injuries, Harry was unable to return to work for an extended period, leaving him unable to provide for his family. His recovery was long and difficult, involving numerous medical appointments, physiotherapy, and a prolonged period of rehabilitation. Even after treatment, he experienced persistent pain, reduced mobility in his leg, and difficulty using his arm for everyday tasks. Harry’s injuries left him with a permanent disability, which impacted his ability to return to his previous line of work.
Upon the advice of a family member, Harry contacted MMC Legal to pursue a claim for compensation. After conducting a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident, we were able to demonstrate that the factory had failed to ensure proper safety measures were in place to prevent such incidents. Liability for the accident was swiftly admitted by the employer.
To support Harry’s claim, we obtained comprehensive medical reports from leading specialists, which confirmed the extent of his injuries and the long-term impact on his health. Our legal team highlighted the severe physical and psychological toll the accident had on Harry, and the fact that he would likely never be able to return to a physically demanding job again.
We worked tirelessly to ensure that Harry’s claim was valued appropriately. Initially, an offer of compensation was made by the employer, but it fell short of what was required to properly compensate Harry for his losses, both financially and emotionally. After further negotiations, a significant, but confidential, settlement was agreed upon that Harry was satisfied with.
Thanks to our dedicated team at MMC Legal, Harry was able to secure the compensation he deserved to support his ongoing recovery and future needs. His case demonstrates our commitment to helping those who suffer serious injuries in the workplace, ensuring they are not left to bear the financial burden of someone else’s negligence.
