Our Client's Story
Ben was spending the afternoon at a local park with his family. His children were playing on the swings, and he decided to join them by trying out the new playground equipment. However, as Ben climbed onto a platform, the structure gave way beneath him, sending him crashing to the ground. He landed awkwardly, fracturing his wrist and dislocating his shoulder in the fall.
Ben immediately sought medical treatment, but the more he thought about it, the more concerned he became. How could this happen at a public park, where safety should be a top priority? When he contacted the local council, they denied responsibility, claiming that the park equipment had been inspected recently and that Ben was simply unlucky. Is that all? What can Ben do in this situation, seek advice now.
