A worker from West Huntspill has won a hundred and eighty-five thousand pounds in compensation after his foot was shattered in an accident.

The unnamed married father-of-one was working for Uplands Retail Limited in 2007 on the refurbishment of an Asda store, when he fell through some flimsy plasterboard and broke his heel.

It left him on crutches for ten months and unable to work for a year and a half, and an out-of-court settlement has been reached after his injuries were decided to be life-altering.
