I take it you can prove that the trolley was to heavy, ie you had it weighed. If not I don't see haw a claim can be made.



Even if you had they weight of the trolley how would you know it was to heavy, I mean theres no easy definition as to what weight is categorised as "To Heavy"..is it 20 Kilos, 30 kilos or what..so knowing its weight wouldnt make a jot of differance anyway. Must have been a hell of a snatch and lift you gave it before you realised the damn thing that supergran had been wheeling about was in actual fact a mini HGV. :roll:


Well there is a good chance that a court would want to know the weight if you wanted to make a claim. :roll:


Be a hell of a shame if it were the one day of the year you forgot to put your scales in the Taxi...soooooooo typical.

That is my point. it would be impossible to prove that the damn thing was too heavy so I can't see a claim being successful.

Didn't you ask her if it was heavy or try to lift it before you just yanked it. Far be for me to tell you that a brief risk assessment might have saved you sore wrist :wink:
You do love your risk assessments & NVQ's :D :D . I think that they may be needed for some people who do not possess an NVQ in common sense.
