It was only after I was taken to hospital after the fall in the storage room that I was told I had broken my arm in a few places. Lawyer: Did you have to take the crates into the storage room? Client: Well, that's where it gets a little sticky. Lawyer: What do you mean? Client: Well, there was a notice to one side of the roller door which said: Workers: 'Leave crates outside storage room. Do not enter'. And the owner had mentioned that he wanted to do all the stacking of the crates in the storage room. Lawyer: And what happened next? Client: Well, I thought I was doing my employer a favor because on that particular day, the roller door to the storage room was open. And I thought I would help him out by taking the crate l was carrying into the storage room. I didn't notice that some vegetable leaves had fallen on the ground in the storage room and as I entered, I slipped on the leaves. I dropped the crate l was carrying and stumbled over it. The strange thing about it is that the storage room floor is always clean. Never saw any leaves or peels on the floor ever - all the time I have worked there except for that day. My right leg took a hit from the heavy crate which fell on my leg and broke it. I called the ambulance with my mobile phone and later on my mate Jeff heard me and sat with me until the ambulance arrived. Lawyer: And the prognosis? Client: I won't be able to work for six months and I need to attend hospital after the casts come off, for rehabilitation. I have also been told I will not be able to lift heavy items again and that I will never have the same strength in either my arm or leg again. Whatever I do. it will have to involve light duties. That means a substantial fall in wages and I don't know what to do or what I'm entitled to. There are hospital fees, doctor's fees. loss of wages and a permanent fall in the amount I can earn. Ijust don't know where I stand regarding all this. Lawyer: That's why we are here.
