Unfortunately there is little anyone can do to prevent them being in an accident because they can often be caused by completely unknown factors. Two of the most common places for an accident to happen are on the road or at work. When both of these situations are combined the danger increases and there is more chance that an accident will occur just as it did for a Croydon milkman one day.
Milkmen spend time at the side and at the rear of their float as they have to remove and replace contents from it when making deliveries. Trevor Wilson was doing just this when he was struck from behind by a car resulting in him being badly injured. As a result of the accident Trevor Wilson wasn't able to work while he was recovering and since March 2009 when the accident took place he has filed a claim for compensation to the figure of 200,000.
The 50 year old milkman stated that he had not only endured serious injuries but he was also suffering from serious pain as a result of those injuries. A writ which was served to the high court outlined the injuries and pain endured by Mr Wilson and also outlined how the injuries kept him out of work resulting in a significant loss of earnings.
Further to the details of Mr Wilson's injuries and loss of earnings the writ also described how Mr Wilson claimed that the accident occurred due to negligence from the driver who hit him. Mr Wilson stated that the driver was driving way too fast and this was the reason that the accident happened. It is believed that because of the offending driver's speed he was unable to stop and so ran into Mr Wilson.
The reason Mr Wilson's claim was so high was because of the many different things which happened as a result and which contributed to the accident. The other driver's negligence played a big part in the decision but more so the extent of Mr Wilson's injuries and the pain he had to endure afterwards. The compensation was also to make up for his lost earnings from the accident.
