cript: Client interview Conducted March 2021 Lawyer: Hello. Please come in. Take a seat and make yourself comfortable. Can I get you anything to drink a tea, coffee? Client: Thank you I am fine for now. [The client has her right arm in a cast and sling. She is also using crutches. Lawyer: Well, I see you have been involved in a mishap. I presume that is why you have come to see us. Client: Yes. It happened last week and I had to go to hospital for treatment. Lawyer: Just before we begin, I need to get your name, address and contact number. Client: Rene Redfern. 555 Oak Street, Green Valley. Mobile 0999 345 435. Lawyer: Thank you for that. Now, Tell me what happened. I'll only interrupt to clarify, if necessary. OK? Client: Yes, of course. Lawyer: Well, let's start at the beginning and I'll take notes as we go along. Client: Well, I work at a local fruit shop called \"Fresh is Best" and part of my job is to take boxes and crates filled with vegetables off the delivery truck and to put them outside a storage room. My employer, Jack, who is the sole proprietor of the fruit shop, also provides special shoes for all employees and we are required to put them on because they have special soles which prevent slipping. Sometimes there are leaves and peels which cover the ground where we work and from time to time, the owner hoses them down to protect the workers while they carry the crates from the truck to the storage room. Lawyer: and you slipped during the process? Client: Well, it wasn't as simple as that. You see, on that day and I don't know why but the crates had been overloaded. They contained more than the usual weight prescribed for them. I didn't know this. I was also running late. I didn't have time to change shoes and kept my own shoes on. I was going to change into the ones we needed to wear on our coffee break. Anyway, I picked up one of the crates and that's when I noticed that it was heavier than usual. It nearly slipped out of my hands but I managed to keep a hold of it by letting my right arm take the weight to avoid the crate falling. My right arm was hit by a sharp corner of the crate a number of times as I tried to balance the crate to stop it from falling. I felt a sharp pain in my right arm but I didn't think any more of it and carried the crate towards the storage room area
