Compensation.

Post by jazzman34 »

Hi,I'm wondering if I have grounds to put a claim in.I fractured a bone in my ankle whilst on duty.It was the last loop of the day,I'd gotten out of the van,started to walk and I was down on the ground.I twisted my ankle and fractured a bone in the process,been off work sick for 6 weeks now.

Depends on the floorings, dodgy pavement sticking out ect, not willy nilly cause you just happen to fall over.
You have to prove that someone or something was at fault.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
