A local Huddersfield worker from Aspley injured at work recently received £100,000 in compensation, with legal help from HW Solicitors
Our Client was employed by a company based at Olympic Park in Bradford when the incident occurred. While carrying out his usual duties, his arm became trapped in industrial machinery, causing a significant injury.
Initially, our client was offered just £10,000 by the insurers handling the claim. However, after seeking expert legal advice from our team, we were able to investigate the full extent of his injuries, the long-term impact on his work and life, and the employer’s safety failures.
Through our persistence and negotiation, we ultimately secured a settlement of £100,000—ten times the original offer.
This case highlights the importance of getting independent legal advice before accepting any offer from insurers. Injured workers are often under pressure to settle quickly, but these early offers rarely reflect the full value of a claim.
