Stephensons’ personal injury specialists recently settled a case for a claimant who had sustained injury due to tripping over a defective suitcase.
The claimant was travelling on a domestic flight in the UK. They were using a suitcase purchased the previous month from a well known high street retailer. This was the first time using the suitcase since purchase. The suitcase had been carried into the airport. On arrival at the destination airport, they removed the suitcase from the conveyor belt, extended the handle and tried to pull it on two wheels. The wheels seemed very stiff, so they put the handle back in and wheeled the suitcase with some difficulty, using all four wheels on the ground. As they did so, the wheels suddenly stopped and locked, causing our client to fall over the suitcase, landing on the gravel outside of the airport, sustaining injuries to their hands, right knee and face.
The client sustained multiple grazes and lacerations to their face and right hand, which resolved in six months, and a soft tissue injury to their right knee which was anticipated to resolve within 12 months of the accident.
Stephensons proceeded with the case and it was settled out of court with the claimant receiving the sum of £2,000 or their injuries.
