I was recently injured while buying tickets from a machine at the station.
The recepticle flap had a sharp metal edge and I cut my hand so badly I had to go to hospital and have it stitched up.
- Before going to hospital I filed an accident report form so it was noted at the station.
- I also informed the hospital how the injury was obtained.
- I decided to take it further as the injury meant I had to take a week off work while it healed up (mostly, before leaving a huge scar)
- I won hands down and got £1500 compensation due to faulty equipment causing injury, alarm or distress.
