Burn to Arm Settlement for injuries caused by defective machine at work
Mr Marek Grabowski*
Mr Marek Grabowski worked in an industrial environment and his duties involved cling-wrapping items using a machine designed for the purpose. Items came down a conveyor belt and through a “curtain” of cling wrap after which a heated bar came down and sealed the wrapping. One day Mr Grabowski was operating this machine when the heating bar went up unexpectedly trapping his wrist against a roller which was part of the machine. He was left with a nasty burn scar on the inside of his wrist, and had to have time off work.
The insurers of Mr Grabowski’s employers accepted Levenes’ contention that the company had been negligent and in breach of statutory rules. They admitted liability for the accident and put forward a first, and then a second offer, to settle the claim. Upon Levenes’ advice these were rejected. It was only at the third instance that an acceptable offer was forthcoming, which Mr Grabowski accepted together with his legal costs paid by the other side on top. Including an element for lost earnings, Mr Grabowski received £4,000.00
