Compensation for cut leg

A woman has received £2,500 compensation after she was left with scarring in an accident at a Working Men’s Club. She had been attending a darts tournament at the club. It was club policy that all chairs are packed away at the end of an event and so she picked up a chair which was situated near the ladies toilet to pack this away. However, as she picked up the chair, she cut her leg on a sharp edging sticking out of the chair leg. As a result, she suffered a laceration to her right leg and has been left with a V-shaped scar. The club admitted liability for the accident.
