A West Huntspill man who suffered 'life'altering' injuries in an industrial accident has been awarded a hundred and eighty-five thousand pounds compensation in an out-of-court settlement.

The married dad of one, who isn't being named, shattered his heel in five places after falling through plasterboard while working on the refurb of an Asda store in 2007, with company Uplands Retail Limited.

He spent ten months on crutches and couldn't return to work for eighteen, before eventually being made redundant in 2009.
