£9,000 in compensation for slip and trip

A bank cashier who fractured her ankle when she fell down a step has received almost £9,000 in compensation. She was off sick for six months following the accident. She fell as she was carrying two metal boxes from the safe to the cashiers. As she passed through an open door in the passageway she fell down a step fracturing her left ankle, spraining her right ankle and damaging her left knee. There were no signs warning employees of the hazard. Her employer admitted liability.
