Accident claim for family
A family has been compensated after their young son was injured while they were on holiday. The boy, who was eight at the time of the accident, was visiting a farm with his family, in 2008.
He had been trying to cross a rope on an assault course in a park when he sustained a personal injury to his knee, after it came into contact with an exposed nail.
The family spoke with staff at the Farm who told them that they would not be able to receive compensation. They explained that the nail he fell on was too small to have caused any severe injuries.
They also stated that another visitor at the park could have dropped the nail, and so they could not be held liable for the boy’s injuries.
Not content with the Farms excuses, the family decided to contact no win no fee solicitors and find out how they could go about making an accident claim on behalf of their sons.
The solicitor was able to get the Farm to admit their liability and also successfully won the compensation for the boy of £2,000.
