Damages over broken ankle

Three businesses have paid compensation to an insulation engineer who broke his ankle on an uneven surface on a building site. He was off work for 19 weeks as a result of the accident at the National Grid. He was working for a subcontractor to a German company which was laying new pipework for a gas importation facility for National Grid. He broke his right ankle when he stepped down from a concrete plinth onto uneven ground below. The site had not been made safe for the planned building works and the wrong kind of surfacing had been laid.
