£7k compensation for driver hurt by faulty van
Date: 24 August 2009
A van driver has received £7000 compensation from food delivery firm 3663 after a faulty van door closed on his finger.
David McCulloch was delivering bread buns to Burger King in Newmarket when the accident happened and he needed to be rescued by the fire service using cutting equipment.
3663 accepted liability for his broken finger, settling out of court.
"Mr McCulloch was a victim of his employer's inability to ensure it provided safe working conditions for its employees," said Martin Fell of Thompsons Solicitors. "All vehicles should have been part of a thorough inspection programme to pick up potential faults like this."
