An accident occurred in England 12 years ago: a worker was hit on the head with a steel (a part of a faulty apparatus) and as a result, suffered grave head injuries. The man had to undergo a lot of reparative operations (tried to aesthetically fix the damage done to his head) and other sorts of medical procedures just to make him function again. Apparently, the man got weary of the difficulties he was facing, and so, as a result, he committed suicide.

The wife felt that the company had to be liable—so she sued the corporation where her late husband had the accident. After years of battling in court, finally, the woman got her prayers answered: the highest court in England declared that the employer was indeed liable for the accident.
