"A railway station manager who claims he ended up losing a leg after being infected with Covid by his boss at work is suing his employers for 1m. David Gibson was a station manager working for Southeastern, based at Herne Hill Station, in July 2021 when he came down with a severe case of Covid which saw him hospitalised with pneumonia, put in a coma and ultimately have his leg amputated below the knee due to a blood clot."
"Mr Gibson, who had worked for the railway company since 2018, claims he was infected at work during an office catch-up followed by a Wetherspoons breakfast with his area manager Danny Hackett, who, Mr Gibson claims, was "coughing" and visibly "unwell" but who nevertheless failed to wear a mask for most of the time they were together."
Donations fund journalists to report on major issues such as reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech without paywalls. A station manager, David Gibson, fell severely ill with Covid in July 2021, was hospitalised with pneumonia, placed in a coma and had his lower leg amputated because of a blood clot. Gibson alleges he was infected at work during an office meeting and a Wetherspoons breakfast with an area manager who appeared unwell and largely did not wear a mask. Gibson is seeking about £1m in compensation at London’s High Court. The employer denies the claims.
