An opera singer has been left to claim for personal injury after an accident which
occurred whilst he was performing prevented him from carrying out his act.
Singer David Montague- Rendall was appearing in a performance of Aita at the Copenhagen Opera House when the accident happened in April 2005.
He was acting out a key scene of the opera when a two tier set piece fell and collapsed resulting in him falling for fifteen feet.
Mr Montague- Rendall sustained a shattered left hip and badly damaged shoulder as a result of the faulty set. Luckily immediately after the fall he also managed to roll out of the way of more of the set which would have crushed him if he had remained in the same position.
61 year old Mr Montague- Rendall was taken to hospital where he received treatment and has now made a recovery after undergoing several joint replacement operations. As a result of his injuries he is no longer able to perform to the standard he used to and therefore has not worked for two years.
The legal team supporting Mr Montague- Rendall have discussed how the other party have admitted liability but are now attempting to play down the incident and the injuries suffered by Mr Rendell in order to reduce the amount of compensation they have to pay out.

When an accident at work causes you to suffer you should always enlist the help of a personal injury lawyer to resolve the situation and help you claim compensation you deserve.
Taking photographic evidence of the scene and cause of the accident is also wise, this evidence can be used in court. Always log your accident in the workplace accident book.
