£15,000 for loading bay accident

A man who sustained multiple injuries and scarring following an accident on the loading bay at a mail centre has won £15,000 in compensation. He was standing on a scissor lift in order to pass empty containers from a loading bay onto the back of a lorry when he slipped into a gap between the bridge flap and the lorry, sustaining injuries to his knee, back, chest and groin. His lawyer said that the engineering evidence they obtained concluded that such accidents could have been avoided if Royal Mail had put adequate fencing in place.
