Teacher awarded £23,000 for slip in a puddle

A West Sussex teacher was awarded £23,000 after slipping in a puddle in a corridor and damaging ligaments in her feet and ankles. To make matters even more expensive, the council decided not to pay the claim initially, so fought it expensively through the courts - and ended up having to make the payment anyway.

It's a major payout, but it's far from the biggest.%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
