A number of friends have since suggested that we should take a personal injury claim
Worth speaking to a PI solicitor to get their opinion - you'll always wonder what might have been if you don't. My daughter
Worth speaking to a PI solicitor to get their opinion - you'll always wonder what might have been if you don't. My daughter fell over some years ago on walking boards on a rural council-run walkway and needed some stitches - we didn't pursue a case but in retrospect we should have.
How do you fall off a tree which is already cut down?. And you were in a Forest?
Seems your child had an accident , compo cases prevent today's children from enjoying & exploring nature as children should, climbing walking running exploring without worry. This time will go soon enough when they become adults.
Looking for monetary compensation won't heal the injury any faster, so please consider your actions & impacts they have on communities, and your child's environment.
I think the unfortunate child had a stupid. There are far more stupids than accidents in Ireland as I told the lady from ESB Networks when we lost our electricity supply AGAIN one week-end earlier this year. Some eejit cut a tree down, taking supply lines with it. Having informed me we should be grateful the eejit wasn't injured in the accident, I said I wasn't the least bit interested in his state of health but wanted assurance he wouldn't be involved in another "stupid" close to our ESB supply network. Lead balloon time.Seems your child had an accident ,
Sorry to hear your child was injured, always traumatic, not least for the parents. Was this on public or private land? Any notices posted about ownership or trespass? Forests by their nature are wild places with inherent dangers from fallen or falling objects, burrows, thorns, briars and other nasty undergrowth, wasps, nees, ants, horseflies, nettles, thistles and other stinging and biting flora and fauna.
Why does someone need to be sued when a member of a rambling group gets injured by the stuff that's in there naturally? Did you deliver the "Things to watch out for and things not to do" lecture? Did they get the "Take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints" speech? No?
People wonder why insurance is so expensive and difficult to get in this benighted little country of ours. I suspect people like your friends are part of the reason. No you don't have a case, but IMO maybe your unfortunate child has a case against you.
never sued for anything in our life but when I see that injury I really think there is a case to answer.
I’m asking a legal question - is there a case or not?
don’t need the lectures or how to raise children
Clearly there has been an injury. The extent of it is not the point. And the injury is to your child - not you. So any claim you might make would be on behalf of your child.
Fidel I’m not looking for a moral verdict thank you very much - I’m perfectly happy with my/our morals - I’m asking a legal question - is there a case or not from a legal perspective.
