Liability Risk and Insurance
£200,000 in out of court settlement for eye injury
An HGV driver whose career was ended when he suffered an eye injury in an accident at work has received £200,000 in an out
of court settlement. He has been left with permanently impaired vision. He was a driver for a company which delivered concrete.
The trucks his employer used were specially modified so that wheelbarrows could be fitted to the sides and secured with bungee
cords.
