£6,250 in compensation for knee injury

A worker who needed surgery on his knee after he fell in a pot hole in the company car park has received £6,250 in compensation. He was left with an injury to his right knee which required surgery and he was forced to take four months off work. It was found that the pot hole was created after some cables had been laid in the car park. The area was cemented but a vehicle had driven over it before it was dry causing the hole. His employer admitted liability and settled the claim out of court.
