Exploding tea cup: repair the personal cracks as well

An exploding cup led to Lawson-West winning a client injury compensation in excess of £6,500.

Our client had just washed a set of glass mugs bought from a well-known store. She poured the boiling water in and proceeded to make tea and coffee for colleagues. When she reached to pick up one of the mugs, the mug exploded. As a result our client underwent surgery to repair a 90% division in her thumb and complete a long course of physiotherapy to resolve ongoing sensitivity.

Vickki Ridgway, personal injury lawyer commented, “When she contacted us for advice, she didn’t for one minute believe she would be able to recover compensation. In fact, she received in excess of £6,500. But more importantly, Lawson-West was able to arrange for proper medical treatment and physiotherapy so that our client could get back to work as quickly as possible.

“If a faulty product breaks or fails in such as way that causes you injuries, don’t just accept it, get advice from solicitors. It won’t cost you a penny to find out where you stand.

“As a guide to choosing a personal injury specialist, ask if they have been accredited by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL). This means they will have at least five years’ experience of personal injury claims and will be committed to the APIL consumer charter, which offers further protection and minimum standards of service.
