Court Approves Compensation for Toy Shop Accident

A five-year-old girl left with permanent scarring as a result of an child accident while visiting Hamley’s toy store has had had her compensation settlement for the injury she sustained approved by Mr Justice Matthew Deery at the Circuit Civil Court.

Brianna Healy from Ballinteer, Dublin fell and hit her head in the store on the 23rd February 2009 when she was just two-years-old, leaving her with a facial scar for the rest of her life.

As the family had not been satisfied with the store’s original offer of compensation, they had sought legal advice and in the end received a revised offer of € 27,500 which they were happy to accept and which Mr Justice Matthew Deery approved.
