£40,000 out of court settlement for back injury

A man has received nearly £40,000 in an out of court settlement after he was left seriously injured in an accident at work. He lost his job as a vehicle inspector for the RAC after he injured his back whilst working at an inspection centre. He tripped on large plastic cover which had been left on the floor. After months of pain in his back, he was told he may require surgery on his back in the future.
