£211,000 in compensation for hip injury

A bakery worker who suffered a serious accident at work, which has left him disabled, has received £211,000 in compensation. He was initially offered just £69,000 for his injuries by his employer’s insurer after he attempted to handle the claim on his own. He was reversing a roller truck on the flat bed of an articulated lorry moving baskets of bread when the lorry driver suddenly drove off. His truck fell five foot to the floor causing his hip bone to be forced up into his pelvis, shattering both.
