Allan Peacock, a 55-year-old veteran diver, faced a life-altering accident in 2011 when he was crushed by heavy underwater equipment while working off the coast of India. Despite the severe injuries that led to a below-knee amputation, his remarkable determination and use of a special prosthetic leg enabled him to return to underwater work after 18 months. He pursued legal action against his former employer, Del Seatek India Private Limited, securing a compensation payout of 765,866, following an earlier settlement of 169,000 from the barge operator.
