We’re lucky to have fairly robust legislation here in the UK and we do boast pretty good records when it comes to incidents and fatalities in the workplace. But despite this, a lot of work accidents still happen.

In this case our client was badly scolded because she placed the cup of coffee to her lips to drink it and the lid had not been put on properly. This resulted in significant scolding to the chest and stomach area.
