It’s difficult to think that anyone could really suffer a serious injury working in an office environment. I mean it’s not like a building site or even a factory shop floor yet a high number of office workers suffer injury that can keep them out of employment for months on end. One of the most common injuries suffered by office workers is repetitive strain injury estimated to cost British businesses around £300million a year in lost working hours.
Defective products come in many forms such as high heel shoes that snap and break your ankle or a top breaks apart and injures a child to the brakes in a car failing and causing a traffic accident leaving the driver with whiplash. In these instances of a product being defective and causing an injury to a person there is a good chance that a compensation claim will be awarded.
