£3,700 in compensation for soft tissue damage

A disabled woman who was injured by a faulty lift has received £3,700 in compensation. The woman, who as a result of a side effect from her diabetes, suffers from muscle weakness and must walk with a stick, was trapped between lift doors while trying to get to her office. As she was entering the lift, the doors suddenly slammed shut on her and she had to force them open with her hands to get out.
