£20,000 out of court settlement over ice slip

A grandmother who tore the tendons in her right shoulder when she slipped and fell on a patch of ice in her staff car park has received £20,000 in an out of court settlement. As she stepped out of her car she slipped on the icy tarmac and fell backwards onto her right shoulder. Her employers hadn’t taken any steps to clear the ice or grit the tarmac to reduce the risk of injury.
