A Claims Direct client had just started work for a new company.

He initially refused but the managing director practically forced him to do so. The managing director gave him a big push from behind, which caused him to fall off and sprain his wrist.
Despite the employer initially denying liability – calling the bicycle “sophisticated circus equipment” – the case was eventually settled for £1,500. Start your Accidents at Work claim now
