I worked as a window cleaner for a friend but fell off the ladder and broke my arm and now cannot work. I don't want to claim against my friend but I am finding it hard to get by.

I worked as a window cleaner for a friend for a couple of weeks whilst I was out of work, however I fell off the ladder and broke my arm and am now unable to find work. I am torn as to what to do as I don't want to claim off my friend but am also finding it hard to get by.

We often have questions from people who are reluctant to claim. Given that the other party has to be at fault in order to succeed in your claim (and in this case they are clearly in breach of the Health & Safety regs) why would you not wish to claim? If your friend borrowed £5000 off you and failed to repay it you would want to pursue a claim. If they have negligently caused you the same or more loss you should seek to recover it.

I can ask one of our legal counsellors to call you to go through your case in detail. The service is confidential, there are no costs associated with the call and there is no obligation of any kind. Please reply to this email if you want to use this service.
