Roofer wins compensation for accident
A man has been awarded £2,100 in an out-of-court settlement by his employer following an accident. The man tore ligaments
in his left ankle whilst working as a roofer. He was carrying a gas bottle on his shoulder and he lost his footing on a lump
in the uneven felt roof surface, which had blistered. A cast was applied to his ankle, which remained in place for three weeks.
He returned to work, but continues to suffer occasional discomfort, particularly in cold weather.
