He suffered a laceration above the left eye measuring 3.2cm and sought treatment for glass fragments in his eye
Mr. L lives in Cromer in Norfolk. He was working for Habitat in a stock room position. He was required to move a glass sheet forming part of a coffee table from one stock room to another. He was also to clean the glass and take it to the shop floor for display. He picked up the glass by gripping it on each side and moved it to a transit cage in order to take it to a lift. Once on the transit cage, Mr. L moved it to the lift and took the glass down in the lift to a lower stock room. He picked up the glass as before and leaned it against a support for cleaning. Once clean, he picked up the glass again to move it to the transit cage. It spontaneously exploded in front of his face.
He suffered a laceration above the left eye measuring 3.2cm and sought treatment for glass fragments in his eye.
An initial offer from the Defendants was refused and eventual settlement was over 48% higher.
