Clyde & Co are pleased to report the successful defence of a
claim after the injured party suffered damage to his left hand when
he attempted to vault over a fence surrounding a park.
Background
The Claimant was a 19-year-old man who suffered a serious injury
to his left hand when he attempted to vault over a fence
surrounding a park.
The fence in question was just over one-metre high and certain
sections of it, including where the accident happened, had sharp
'Roman spearhead' tops. The Claimant said he had been
unaware of this when he attempted to vault the fence, and that had
the spearhead tops not been there, he would not have been
injured.
The Claimant pursued a claim in excess of £100,000.
