Compensation for ladder fall

A man who worked as a maintenance electrician has been awarded more than £33,500 for injuries he sustained whilst assisting in the dismantling of the site. The man had been asked by the administrators to stay on as part of a team to dismantle electrical equipment in readiness to be shipped to China for new owners. He was using ladders when they gave way resulting in him falling 15 foot onto a concrete floor. He fractured both his jaw and his elbow in the fall.
