£2,000 for trip over pot hole

A woman who badly damaged her leg after a pot hole caused her to fall on top of a trolley full of supplies has been awarded £2,000. She was left suffering from severe bruising to her left leg after the accident. She was pushing a trolley from one office building to the next to replenish first aid equipment supplies. She pushed the trolley off a dropped kerb and as she was crossing the paved road the trolley’s wheels became caught in a hole, created by a gap in the paving stones, and it fell forward. She fell on top of the trolley in the road causing damage to her leg.
