A man rendered bedridden for months by a workplace accident has been awarded more than $300,000 by an ACT court.
The man broke his leg after falling two metres from shoddy scaffolding. He was disassembling scaffolding at a building site when the structure twisted and collapsed. Medical reports said the accident and treatment resulted in a permanent 1.7 centimetre shortening in his leg, giving him a limp.
The scaffolding company was found negligent because the scaffolding was shoddily constructed, and was ordered to pay the injured worker $311,530.
