Case one – too short ladder
Mr R was working as an apprentice on a construction site, and was asked by his supervisor to finish work fitting a window frame. The ladder he had been given for the task was too short, and therefore he had to stand on the top rung and stretch in order to reach. While doing this he overreached and fell 3 metres to the ground below.
"I was unsure if I could claim but I knew the accident was not my fault"
Mr R broke his ankle and suffered multiple bruises to his body in the fall. He needed significant time off work to recover. We managed to get him £9,680 in compensation for his ordeal.

Case two – unsecured and un-footed ladder
Mr Y was asked to go up a ladder that was not secured and was not footed. It had been placed on damp grass that slightly sloped away from the wall the ladder rested against. As Mr Y was half-way climbing up the ladder, it slipped and landed flat to the ground. Mr Y broke his left arm in the fall, meaning he was off work while he recovered.
"The accident was devastating, but my claim was pain-free"
Mr Y contacted Ashley Ainsworth and we took on his case. With our help, we managed to get him £5,490 compensation. He has since returned to work.

Case three – loose rung on a ladder
Mr W was asked to carry a toolbox up a ladder to a platform that a colleague was working from above. As he was making his way up, he stood on a loose rung that gave way under his weight. As he was carrying the toolbox, he was unable to stop himself falling, and he dropped two metres to the floor below. He hurt his back in the incident and took time off work to recover.
"I just want to stop my accident happening to anyone else"
Mr W was unsure about claiming, but our team did everything possible to reassure him. In the end we fought hard and got him the £4,250 compensation he deserved.
