A fu­ner­al home has been or­dered to pay over $800,000 in com­pen­sa­tion to a for­mer em­ploy­ee, who se­ri­ous­ly in­jured his back while lift­ing heavy bod­ies sev­er­al years ago.

High Court Judge Ricky Rahim or­dered com­pen­sa­tion for Har­dath Maraj as he up­held his neg­li­gence case against Simp­sons Memo­r­i­al Lim­it­ed, last Fri­day.

Maraj was em­ployed as a dri­ver/handy­man in 2015.
