£4,750 Compensation for Fall

On the day of the accident Ian was looking for his cat which had jumped over a garden fence which had recently been erected.

He leaned on the fence with his elbows to see where the cat had gone but as he did so the fence panel itself broke and collapsed. Ian fell a distance of approximately three feet into the adjoining school grounds. He fell onto his right shoulder causing a soft tissue injury. Compensation was successful recovered from the insurers of the company that had recently erected the fence.
