Woman seeks compensation for son’s severed toes
Anita Fredericks, the 18-year-old who lost four of his toes from his left leg, is imploring some form of compensation from the power company for the injuries her son sustained on Christmas Eve Night.
Mrs. Fredericks argued that taking into consideration the fact that her son would be at home unable to work for the next year, he would need some form of financial income to take care of his basic needs.
Fernando Fredericks worked as an excavator operator in the interior.
Mrs. Fredericks said that she was advised by members of the police force to inform the Guyana Power and Light Company about the incident. Fredericks added that the power company has not responded by offering any financial compensation as yet.
To date members of the power company should have been made aware of the incident since members at the Anna Regina Branch were informed and were advised to submit a written statement to the Chief Executive Officer, Mrs. Fredericks noted.
On December 24, last, Fernando Fredericks was standing at the Anna Regina bus shed when an electrical pole fell during a freak storm and crushed his left foot.
Fredericks lost four toes in the mishap and was admitted to the male ward at the Suddie Public Hospital.
He has since been released but continues to complain of severe pain.
