My daughter who is four pulled a heavy stool over on to herself while we were in a travel shop. She had to have four stitches in the cut she received to her eye, which were told will leave a scar. Do we have a claim against the shop owners?
Make an appointment with a firm of solicitors with a specialist in personal injury cases. Your first interview should be free. The solicitor will need more information, but it will be important to establish the travel shops insurers. Your daughter can bring a claim at any time until she reaches the age of 21, at which age the scarring could be more important. Obviously it will be essential to contact any witnesses sooner rather than later.
