I have just read an article about a dad-of-one, who is getting back on his feet after getting £70,000 compensation for a horrific accident at work.
The 28-year-old fell off a mill roof and landed feet first, shattering his heels and having to be confined to a wheelchair for two months.
He says the cash he was awarded as an out-of-court settlement from Halifax-based Calder Brook Estates Ltd, who owned the mill he had been working on without scaffolding, has come as “a relief” but is nothing to celebrate because it has almost all been spent on re-paying debts and family loans, taken when he was unable to work.
It highlights the difficulties caused when you are involved in an accident at work and sustain injuries.
Money was so tight for him and his family that financial problems spiralled and led to him getting depressed. Unfortunately, this is not unusual.
