Whole Body Vibration Syndrome
18th May 2007
The claimant was employed by the railway industry and spent a lot of his time operating machinery that delivered high levels of vibration.
Due to the design of the seating within the machinery the vibrations were distributed directly to the client. New seats had been introduced however the last ones to be put in were approximately ten years ago.
The Legal Line’s lawyers, Thompsons Solicitors also obtained evidence that proved that due to the levels of vibration that the client was exposed to an existing back condition that the client suffered from had been worsened.
Liability Denied by Employers
The claimant’s employers initially denied liability however decided to settle. The compensation paid to the claimant was £3,000.
