Claim details.
At Imperium Law we have the expertise and experience to get you the compensation you deserve for injuries sustained at work.
Ms P was acting as the stage manager for the Headlong Theatre production of Boys in 2012, when she fell through a backstage door and dropped 3 metres to the floor. She suffered a permanent injury to her spine and she has been left wheelchair bound.
The accident happened when Ms P, who was working to prepare for a matinee performance, went to find an employee to help her with the theatre's lighting controls. After climbing a spiral staircase she opened a door at the top, immediately in front of her was a black curtain which she step through into open air and she plummeted to the floor.
There was no warning signs to alert her to the danger, and was injured because of the theatre's breach of Health and Safety regulations.
A claim was made to compensation her for the catastrophic spinal injuries she suffered.
After 2 years of negotiation a settlement was recently reached in the amount of £3.7 million, which is one of the largest ever payouts for a theatre accident in the UK.
If you have suffered an injury after a fall from height at work, seek legal advice to find out if you can make a claim.
If you are required to work at height by your employer, you should be provided with the right equipment and training on how to correctly position and use the ladders and scaffolding you have been given.
If for example you have been asked to work stacking high shelves but had to use a chair or a table because ladders are not provided, your employer is in breach of Health and Safety Regulations.
If you fell from height and were injured, and the accident was caused by your employer's negligence and the failure to follow Health and Safety guidelines you may have a valid claim for compensation.
