Scottish man launches two separate accident claims
A Scottish man in his late 50s has launched two separate accident claims, both for factory work accidents in which he suffered personal injury.
A no win no fee solicitor firm has agreed to represent the man in both claims and has lodged all the relevant paperwork, at the Court of Session in Edinburgh.
It is understood that the first of the claims relates to an incident that occurred in a packing factory near Turiff. It is alleged that the claimant suffered a head injury after banging his head against machinery while transporting eggs across the factory floor.
The second claim refers to an incident which happened at a large-scale bakery, when the claimant suffered an eye injury as a result of it becoming contaminated with a work-related substance.
The defendants have not commented on the cases, other than to say that it is in the hands of their liability insurers.
The claimant is hoping to secure around £50,000 in injury damages for each incident.
Dates have been set for both hearings in January and February 2011.
