Staircase slip and trip

A woman has received £13,000 in compensation after being injured in an industrial accident. She was taking some bin bags to be emptied into a rubbish bin which was located at the back of her employer’s kitchen. In order to reach the bins, she had to descend a stairwell, which had inadequate lighting. As it was dark, she missed one of the steps and subsequently fell. She sustained a fracture of the left tibia and fibula which required fixation with an intramedullary nail.
