Three Year Old Girl Awarded Compensation from Marks & Spencer PLC
13 December 2010
A Shepshed mother has received compensation from Marks & Spencer after her three year-old daughter’s hand was trapped by faulty fittings in its Simply Food branch in The Rushes shopping centre, Loughborough.
As Rachael Dyer was being served at the checkout, her daughter Bryonie – now five - perched on a metal bar running alongside which trapped the middle finger of her left hand between two sharp steel edges as it bent under her weight.
Although the accident occurred last February, doctors still estimate another year before the finger, having suffered a severe laceration, is completely recovered.
Rachael said: “We thought for a moment that her finger was hanging off – the hospital put her in a bandage that she wore for about three weeks, although in took another two months before Bryonie could use it without pain.”
Keith Mathews, at Russell Jones & Walker, Birmingham acted on their behalf. He said: “I’m delighted we achieved compensation for Bryonie as it was not a pleasant injury and something she should never have suffered.”
