£33,924 Compensation for Back Injury at Work

Harry was employed to deliver and install photocopiers.

He and three of his colleagues drove to a business in Bristol to deliver a photocopier and set it up. This involved transporting the photocopier to an upstairs room via a spiral staircase.  As Harry and his colleagues were in the process of moving the photocopier up the staircase he felt a sudden pain in his back.

He had previously raised concerns about the heavy lifting however no procedures were ever implemented to reduce the risk of injury. Harry continues to suffer from a painful back.
