A recent legal claim conducted by our personal injury team highlights the serious consequences that can arise when those safeguards are alleged to fall short. Garratts acted for a mental health nurse who was assaulted by a patient while walking along a ward corridor in January 2023, leaving him unconscious.
Legal proceedings were brought against the operator of the facility, with allegations of negligence and breach of duty in relation to workplace safety.
The injuries claimed included physical trauma and significant psychological harm, demonstrating the lasting impact such incidents can have on frontline staff.
The claimant successfully recovered £47,000 compensation.
