The worker sued for S$100,000 in damages in a lawsuit he filed against his former employer
SINGAPORE: A judge ruled in favour of a 37-year-old Indian national who sued his bosses after he fell from an overcrowded lorry. The injuries he sustained from his fall caused him to require surgery, and he was put on medical leave for five months.
Mr Murugan, the fourth who got down from the vehicle, had been shoved by another worker who wanted to avoid the rain. He then lost his balance and fell to the ground. When his right knee continued to remain painful, he was brought to the hospital, where his knee, which had been fractured, was operated on.
CNN and other media outlets have called the verdict in favour of the worker a “rare legal win” after District Judge Tan May Tee said on Aug 17 that there was “a breach of duty by the company.
