level of compensation
Hello,
I recently fell from a scaffold tower at work and broke my ankle. I contacted a no win no fee solicitor who has agreed to take on my case. I still must send back the signed form. I will probably take a day or two to check the fine print as with a broken ankle and out of work, I do not want to incur fees.
My ankle was severely broken in three places and it was operated on with screws and metal straps. All the doctors would testify saying that "You have done a great job of breaking your ankle" Every consultant that I have spoken to tells me that I am likely to have a stiff ankle with pain which may require for me to have the cartilage replaced. I will also not be able to work for at least 12 weeks.
I fear that this scenario will exclude me from work on construction sites as they often resemble obstacle course, and it has been suggested that their insurance probably would exclude me from working on site. I am not 100% sure that I will win this claim, but if I do how much compensation should I expect to be offered or entitled to?
