Man compensated for broken ankle

A man has received £8,000 in compensation after he broke his ankle at work. He was contracted out by his employer and was working as a roofer when he broke his ankle on site. His accident occurred when he was trying to get off a roof onto some scaffolding. His route had been blocked by materials that had been stacked up and he had to climb over them in order to get past. As he was climbing over the materials they shifted, forcing his leg beneath them and breaking a bone in his ankle.
