Personal injury compensation is sought by a barmaid who was injured after a gas explosion, which left her trapped under the rubble.
In January 2009, a gas explosion ripped through the Drumtochty Arms Hotel just as it was completing a £750,000 refurbishment carried out by Instant Catering Maintenance, injuring three people, claim reports.
Barmaid, Danielle aged twenty six at the time of the explosion, was left buried beneath the rubble and suffered injuries including three broken ribs, a broken vertebra, breastbone and thumb and a collapsed lung.
Although lucky to be alive, Danielle feels that the injury to her back will affect her for the rest of her life and is on prescription painkillers to enable her to sleep and get on with her life.
In the blast, Danielle was one of three people injured and is seeking personal injury compensation against the hotel management and Instant Catering Maintenance.
