Six-figure settlement for hand crush
A man has agreed a six-figure settlement after an accident at work left him with severe injuries. He suffered the accident
at work, whilst assisting two colleagues to move a heavy piece of equipment at his employer’s premises. The equipment was
hanging from a fork of a forklift and he was standing to one side to steady the equipment when one of the forks became detached
and fell, hitting his left hand.
