Circumstances
In December 2018 our client was leaving a restaurant following a work Christmas party. As it was busy outside the restaurant, our client moved to get past people and whilst doing this our client tripped on a concealed step outside the entrance. As the step was not obvious, its concealment caused her to fall against a barrier screen. As the barrier was not anchored to the ground, it caused our client further injury as she fell into metal chairs and tables.
Injuries
As a result of the accident, our client sustained ligament and soft tissue damage, bruising, swelling and a fractured finger.
Settlement
Our client instructed Jefferies in December 2018 and was represented by Claims Handler Jillian Roach.
