Pryers, the injury claim solicitors based in York, recently represented a claimant who suffered an accident during the course of his employment. Whilst working with industrial machinery, a fault developed and whilst investigating the cause, a hydraulic pipe joint failed and a jet of hydraulic fluid entered the claimant’s dominant thumb, causing a significant injury and infection.
After a lengthy period of treatment the claimant was required to have the tip of the thumb amputated.
Liability for the accident was conceded by the insurers because of the faulty work equipment and the claimant received in excess of £19,000 in damages.

Pyers recently r
epresented a claimant who was employed in a children’s nursery. She suffered an accident whilst required to use a ladder in order to gain access to reset a defective electrical consumer unit. The ladder slipped and the claimant fell some distance suffering multiple minor injuries.
Liability and the value of the personal injury claim were both disputed by the employer’s insurers who maintained that the claimant was the author of her own misfortune.
We successfully argued breaches of Health and Safety regulations and the claimant received compensation of £5,400.

Pyers solicitors recently acted on behalf of a man who sustained injury and damage to his eyes after taking medication prescribed for an unrelated condition. There were issues with regard to the standard of care he received in relation to the poorly monitored prescription of this medication, and also with regard to the failure by his optician to diagnose the signs of macular damage at a time when further deterioration may have been prevented. The Claimant received a substantial sum in settlement of his claim for the damage sustained and to compensate him for the fact that he could no longer continue in his job.
