Workplace accident employer negligence personal injury

I suffered a workplace accident that was not my fault and the company admitted liability, however due to workplace accidents being rife the company (to be confirmed) deliberately tried to cover up and downgrade the accident, ultimately leading to myself receiving such inadequate medical care that it constitutes being denied medical care.

This is also lead to incorrect information being documented on my medical records with was a vast contrast to what I was claiming my injuries were, so that it created a bias from health care professionals that is still prevalent today, resulting in still not receiving adequate investigation or treatment.

The accident 03/03/2017- whilst working in a loading bay and opening the curtains on a large double decker height lorry, another employee operating a folk lift started unloading from the opposite side and knocked a pallet containing 50kg of drums. striking me in the head throwing me to the floor.

Immediately following my accident, the company having no qualified health and safety staff members on shift, did not call an ambulance to correctly identify the severity of my head injury, and went against protocol to move me, forcibly picking me up and taking me to Loughborough walk in centre.

Whilst I was suffering from a severe concussion and did not feel capable, the company employee told the doctors at the walk in centre that I had been hit on the head by a 5ltr bottle - not a pallet totalling 50kg drums and was exceptionally lucky to be alive.

I did not establish this fact until February 2024 when I got a copy of the my NHS medical record from the night of my accident.

The employee misinforming the doctor was part of the evidence I have as to why the company deliberately covered up my accident:

• The company had a chequered health and safety history, including a fatality in 2003 - news paper article attached.
• 3 cameras of the accident were mysteriously not working.
• No ambulance called
• Doctors given incorrect information to down play the accident.
• The company did not report the accident to the health and safety executive until 3.5 Years after the accident - not the maximum of 15 days timeframe required by RIDDOR.

Possible avenues of legal recourse:

Employer Negligence / Duty of Care:
The company breached their duty of care and failed to provide me with medical help following my accident. No health and safety employee on site, I was a risk employee being on blood thinners and should not have been moved without a spinal board and an ambulance.

Slander:
Due to the severity of the accident I was suffering from a concussion and the company employee incorrectly told the doctors the weight was 5kg. Thus every doctor I have seen and I tell them that I was hit by a falling pallet weighing 50 kg then the doctor reeds in my NHS medical records that I was hit by a five litre bottle, they think that I’m a liar and that I am trying to make a small accident in to a big accident for the insurance ruining my name and preventing me from getting any medical attention.

Personal Injury:
Unfortunately I previous hired a private inexperienced and incompetent solicitor to seek a personal injury claim, despite the solicitor going against my written request, they settled on a pitiful sum - I believe the fact that the company deliberately covered up the accident which lead to me being denied life saving medical care invalidates any personal injury claim. It's a legal offence to not report an accident to health and Safety executive within 15 days (RIDDOR). The company only reported the accident several years later because I called the Health and safety governing body and they contacted the company about the accident.

Southend Hospital:

Upon returning home from the workplace accident, a relative noticed I was still suffering from a concision and took me immediately to the GP who sent me to A&E where the correct medical protocol started to happen with the neck brace etc, however when the doctor came into the cubical, he immediately told me to go home with attitude and that there was nothing wrong with me. No investigation or attempting to ask me any questions - I did not learn until 2024 that my medical records had 5ltr bottle when I told my GP and the nurses at the hospital it was 50kg.

The A&E doctor sent a seriously ill person home without any discussion or physical assessment, and I believe I now believe the inaccurate accident history contained within my medical records may have materially influenced the doctor’s assessment and decision-making.

I have as series of questions attached in the word document, focusing on the best legal route forward and points of the case.
