A woman in the office came into work early yesterday and took a nasty fall on a wet tile floor, since her fall the slippery surface sign has been up and will probably stay up for the duration of this cold spell.
Shes hurt her back and is off work but will not be claiming.
Fair play to her I say as those no win no fee lawyers would have garanteed her £5k and the employer would have settled out of court no questions asked.
I would like to think if the same happend to me I would resist the temptation to take the easy money.

What is she going to claim for though? If she is off work for a couple of weeks but gets full company sick pay and there is no long-term damage then she has suffered no loss.
Well you know what these no win no fee guys are like, suffered a slip or fall we will get you thousands. Gassing Station | Jobs & Employment Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
