      OP can you not take responsibility for your own fall and accept that you drank and stumbled over your own feet? why is it someone elses fault?

      It is easy to see how this one will play out though.

      Solicitor will argue that the company has a vicarious liability to its employee who wouldn't have fallen over if he hadn't had a drink provided by his boss.

      Has anyone ever known a solicitor to turn down a case because someone fell over their own feet?

      The OP is out for a quick buck and will probably get it. Wonder if they will still have a job at the end of it though.....

      And people question the rising price of insurance in this country.

      Maybe the OP works as a beer taster.

      The icing on this particular cake would be if the op actually worked in a pub, you don't do you op?

      I had a bad fall at work and had to have surgery. The tricky thing is that it happened after my shift but still on the premises and I had been drinking with my boss.
      Does anyone know if I am still eligible to claim ?

      Eh....what are you thinking of claiming for?? Are u out of work as a consequence??? What medical fees have you incurred??

      Jeez... the worlds gone mad..Ted!

      Sounds to me like there is something more to it and that is reason for claim, you were drinking alone with boss. Is claim pay back for something else

      So you got drunk and fell over on you work premises and you want to sue them? There is literally no hope anymore, we're fu**ed.

      To the OP yes you are "entitled" to claim.

      There a few cases of people injuring themselves on work nights out and claiming and winning........

      Link? And did they contribute to their own injury by consuming alcohol?

      I suspect there are plenty of cases where the judge ruled that the plaintiff contributed to their injuries by consuming to much alcohol.
