Roy Smith is a machine operator who had a machine injury claim. He ended up getting injured when the machine on which he was working broke down and malfunctioned while he was working and trapped his arm. Roy suffered a broken wrist that was very badly mangled in the accident. In fact, at first the doctor thought that he was going to lose his arm. This was no ordinary broken bone injury, but a machine related injury claim.

The employer’s insurance policy that covered the place where Roy worked wanted to settle the claim with him while he was in the hospital. They approached him with some papers while he was in a drugged state and urged him to sign. Roy was afraid for his family and his job, even though this was not his fault. But he did not sign. Something told him not to sign the papers and he called his cousin to find out about making a broken bone injury claim. His cousin referred him to a lawyer he knew who handled these types of cases.

When Roy got out of the hospital, he had to heal and had to take a great deal of time off work. He went to see the lawyer who was shocked by the extent of Roy's ...
... injuries and said that he would help him make a claim. Meanwhile, the insurance company was increasing the sum that they wanted to give him for the accident. The doctor said that Roy needed intense physical therapy to be able to use his arm again and that it would take time. Roy's manager wanted him back to work the next Monday and had no sympathy for him. After all, Roy was just a machine operator and they had a big job due. His boss told him that he would have to get up and go back to work or he would be fired.

Fortunately, Roy had the law on his side and a good lawyer who looked out for him. Not only was he able to wait until his injury completely healed before he used his arm, but he also got full compensation from the insurance company for his injury and got paid while off work and recovering. Now he is able to use his arm, which is very fortunate. However, had he gone back to work when his boss wanted him to do so, the arm most likely would not have healed properly. This was not a broken bone case, but a machine injury case. The lawyer knew how to handle all personal injury cases and looked out for the interests of his client. Today, Roy is in a good financial shape because he got a settlement from the company that was a lot more than what they originally offered. In addition, he was able to recover and can now use his arm. The company installed new machines so that no one else gets injured with faulty equipment and he has a better job today than he did when the accident occurred. It is a good idea for anyone, especially those who have been injured at work, to seek the help of a good personal injury solicitor to look after their interests. It is not a good idea to be intimidated by an insurance company or the boss when right is on your side.
