I do like to take this with me though if I know I’m doing a lot of walking not sure why they stopped making them. Now though

I don't always take mine as I now use my barrow more often, I could fit the chair on but prefer saving some weight and carrying less, I would if I was doing more than an overnighter but I barely get a chance to sit before it's home time these days.

The Company/Factory have now accepted liability, but there insurance have asked to look at the investigation. They have (unofficially) asked if I would take "A few Thousand" to not go through proceedings....errrrm NOPE. So Far.......Solicitors are negotiating for 6months salary (£13,200) they take 25% of final settlement (£3,000)....so could be a good final figure for myself 🤞🤞🤞🤞 I've had numerous meetings with the Managers, all stating how unprofessional the situation has been, now just need bloods again in September and wait for results.

I did find a 'relax mat' handy for sitting in front of the bedchair, and it does also work on the barrow as long as you get get your feet either side of the wheel, just don't put too much weight backwards...

Not sure I understand mate.... Regardless of results this could be life threatening? Isn't that what the results will tell you? My brother was in an accident maybe 20 years ago and there were complications with his recovery. He was offered something like £10k as a settlement but held out for a much bigger pay-off based on test results. The test results came back, not what my bro expected, and he ended up with £6k. I'd hate to see the same thing happen to you. I would just make sure you fully understand the impact of a clear blood result mate. I am no expert but in my experience pay-offs are valued in actual damages rather than what could have happened.

The Few Thousand was spoken about/to with my Director of the Company (about 3k) but solicitors are saying regardless of the outcome of results, besides dying, this could be a life threatening situation for the duration of what remains of me living, but all in all the Factory has never in its entire history has ever come across this situation and are still trying to implement procedures/risk assessments/studys on how they hope it will never happen again.... We're the needle came from, is practically un heard of being used and needles should only be used in our Oc Health department when giving out yearly vaccines at work, so I think (still as of today) they are still trying to implement all of the above for hoping nothing like this can happen again, but people.who know at work like Magaers and Top Bosses are all practically on my side, even the Factory Manager....

All the best for today , Nick . 😃

Think I'll try the Solar one, spending is now justified as necessary research for the fellas! 🤣👍 Will let you know obvs
