| Paul McNeil is representing Grigore Vraja in a
work accident claim against
property owners Bashir Nathoo and Shirazali Boghuni, occured
when the building on Dean Farrar Street in London
collapsed. Grigore had been working on illegal renovation
works at the time of incident as the
property owners had no planning permission for converting
the building into a hotel. |

Grigore was trapped for 10 hours in the wreckage of the
building after the top two floors of the five-story building
collapsed on him in June 2007. After the rescue by the fire
fighters his leg was amputated at the hip, leaving him devastated
at the age of only 22.
Bashir Nathoo and Shirazali Boghuni admitted liability and
paid an "undisclosed interim payment" to Vraja.
Paul McNeil commented: "Mr Vraja is absolutely devastated at the
loss of his leg. He is still a young man - this accident has
affected his work and life beyond belief."
The full story of the case was reported in the
Building magazine on Friday, 28 November.
