Compensation for metal rack injury

A man who was pinned to the ground and injured by a heavy clothing unit, while working on a store refit for a leading supermarket, has been awarded £4,500 in damages. The man was working as an electrical subcontractor when the incident happened. He was walking down one of the aisles to collect some lighting units when an 8ft metal clothing rack, which had not been properly secured, fell on him. He sustained a strained back and a partial tear to ligaments in his back. The supermarket admitted liability.
