Pearson Legal
Full Credential Description
Personal injury compensation award for a widow whose partner was involved in a fatal forklift truck accident at work. Fatal Accident Claim The claim was made on behalf of the estate in accordance with the provisions of the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1934 and on behalf of himself and his dependants, his partner, son, stepdaughter, and brother, pursuant to the Fatal Accidents Act 1976. He was struck by the forklift truck and knocked to the ground, causing what ultimately transpired to be a fatal head injury. “It is clear in this case that the accident was caused by negligence on behalf of the occupiers of the site; they failed in their common duty of care contrary to Section 2 of the Occupier’s Liability Act 1957,” said Personal Injury Lawyer Mike Talbot. “This breach in the firm’s statutory duties exposed my client’s brother to the horrific circumstances which led to his death,” added Mike. No amount of money can compensate them but it will help alleviate some financial burdens, and one would hope lessons can be learned by businesses to make sure it does not happen again,” he said.
