Case Study: Serious Workplace Injury Claim Settled

Posted by the Bennett Griffin team on 21st April 2026

Seven-figure settlement secures injured worker’s future.

Our client was seriously injured on site. We secured expert rehabilitation and long-term financial support.

The Accident

While installing lights inside a feature wall at a major sports stadium, our client was struck on the head by the structure after it collapsed due to being improperly secured.

He sustained a serious brain injury, facial and dental trauma, and significant psychological symptoms including anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption, which worsened his cognitive difficulties.

The Impact

Since the accident, he has been unable to work and was dependent on regular interim payments.

We arranged a tailored rehabilitation programme to address his complex needs and established a Personal Injury Trust to protect his entitlement to means-tested benefits.

Our Approach

From the outset, we took a proactive and compassionate approach, focusing on securing early interim payments and specialist rehabilitation to support our client’s complex needs.

We built a strong case for long-term compensation, negotiated a substantial settlement, and set up a Personal Injury Trust to safeguard his financial future and access to ongoing care.

The Resolution

Despite progress through rehabilitation, the effects of his injuries remained long-term.

After negotiations with the defendant’s insurer, we secured a seven-figure settlement to ensure his future care and financial security, giving him stability and access to continued support as needed.
