ok to cut a long story short a few weeks ago when i was in work (retail industry) we have a shop counter and a sharp nail was sticking out from the counter and as i leaned down to pick up an item the nail cut a 4 inch deep cut on the top of my head, there was allot of blood etc and i patched it up as a trained fist aider now several weeks later it has left a scar on my head visible for all too now see which i am not too happy about, now question is from experience is it worth while seeking some form of compensation for my injury? i dont want to be one of these people claiming at the first sign of trouble but a permanent visible scar is not something id ever want in a hurry, and if i do decide to go ahead with seeking compensation do i have to leave my job or am i at there mercy to start to people manage me out of the business indirectly
