Accident victim tries to live on £15 a week

Senator Paul Le Claire has taken up Robert Michalowski’s case, arguing that the States is failing to give immigrant workers the safeguards needed in a modern society.And with all government and parish avenues for assistance exhausted, he is now calling on Islanders to help.Mr Michalowski suffered a broken leg, a smashed knee cap and broken ribs in a accident on his moped on 20 September close to the Steam Clock.

The matter is now with lawyers and it could take years before any compensation payment is made.Because he has been unable to work since, he has received no pay, has had to move out of his employer’s hotel and is now living on social security hand-outs of £140 a week.

The 42-year-old chef has moved into a guest house in Havre des Pas, which is costing him £125 a week.
