If you say the words 'compensation' and 'train injury', then images of mutilations and broken limbs are immediately conjured up, suffered from explosive crashes with speeding freight trains. However, this is not always the case, as not all injury claims involved with trains involve head on collisions and severed limbs; a Leeds train driver has won a case against his Employers, Northern Rail for almost 6,000 compensation after falling over some discarded rubbish on a train track.
If you say the words 'compensation' and 'train injury', then images of mutilations and broken limbs are immediately conjured up, suffered from explosive crashes with speeding freight trains. However, this is not always the case, as not all injury claims involved with trains involve head on collisions and severed limbs; a Leeds train driver has won a case against his Employers, Northern Rail for almost 6,000 compensation after falling over some discarded rubbish on a train track. Peter Kelly, the train driver from Selby, North Yorkshire utilised the help of personal injury lawyer specialists Thompsons who represent ASLEF in order to secure his compensation. It is a perfect example of 'where there's blame, there's a claim.' The accident occurred when Kelly, 49, was stepping up on to the train to drive back to Leeds on the Ilkley route and slipped on some litter that had not been tidied away, falling on to the platform, causing injury to his lower back. According to Mr Kelly, he did not attend hospital immediately as he thought the pain would go away, despite the pain in his back being terrible. Due to the pain in his back the family vacation to America that they had all been looking forward to was ruined. He sought medical attention when they returned from the US and has been on a course of painkillers, only able to walk short distances. His employer had not provided a safe enough working environment for him to work in therefore Mr Kelly's case was successful, as his injury lawyer managed to prove this. His personal injury lawyer from the Leeds firm Thompsons Solicitors claimed that Mr Kelly's employers were fully aware of the workplace regulations which make very clear the health and safety requirements that they are duty bound to perform; he was represented by Keely Goldup. Leeds branch of Northern Rail have let themselves down and have paid a hefty penalty, so it would appear. This is a fairly idiosyncratic example of a claimant seeking compensation, however if you or a loved one has suffered a personal injury, then you should seek out the best legal advice available to claim the compensation that you deserve. If an injury lawyer can successfully sue for a train driver slipping on a piece of rubbish, it give hope for all those victims of personal injury who may consider their case to random or obscure to have any real hope for victory.
