Duncan Lewis, Legal News Solicitors, Worker Dies in Airbus Factory Accident

A man has died while working at a garage on the premises of the Airbus factory in Broughton, North Wales. Donald Williams, 62, was rushed to the Countess of Chester Hospital following the accident but died later as a result of his injuries. North Wales Police and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) have launched an investigation into the accident.

Paul McKinlay, the site manager at the factory, told of his shock over Mr. Williams’ death. Buckley Mayor, Councillor Mike Peers, a former employee of the Airbus factory, claimed that the factory had an “enviable” record of health and safety and was saddened to learn that somebody had lost their life while working on the premises. Councillor Peers added that Airbus would fully co-operate with the investigating authorities.

A Welsh Ambulance Service spokesperson claimed that a rapid response car, ambulance and Broughton Aerospace Community First Responders were called to the scene. They took Mr. Williams, who they described as having “life-threatening injuries” to the nearest hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. DCI Steve Williams of the North Wales Police added that they had begun a joint investigation into the industrial accident with the HSE.

Duncan Lewis’ personal injury department may be able to claim compensation for accidents at work. The team specialise in instigating claims for general and special damages. The department’s personal injury solicitors, without the need to instigate legal proceedings, can settle the majority of claims. However, the team will advise on court action in the event that this is the only way in which to obtain maximum compensation.
