My daughter had an accident at tescos. she got her fingers caught in an escalator. can i make a claim?

Jackson P

NO. This is entirely your fault for not supervising your child properly.

A decent parent would ensure that a child of that age is not able to run onto an escalator by themselves.

speyhawkzamek

surely the fault is with you for not having your child under your control,its so easy to blame someone else for you own shortcomings.It is unrealistic to expect a child of that age to realise that it was dangerous thats what parental guidence is for .

mintycakeyfroggy

There are signs on the escalators warning about children on them. I expect they will use this to dispute your claim. Tesco haven't actually done anything wrong if you think about it, it was an accident not due to Tescos faulty machinery . Unless she tripped on some kind of wet floor or something in the way.

WelshLad

A claim for not controlling your daughter and letting her run in a store?

Booboo

no, you should have had a hold of her, Tesco is a supermarket, not a nursery, if they were then it would be their fault, but they aren't!!!

sorry dont think that is tescos fault so i dont think you can make a claim

StandardToaster

Surely that wasn't tescos fault? :

Aba D

If it was her fault for tripping, then surely it would be morally wrong to sue tesco for that? :S

Sure.. if she slipped on a wet floor and tripped, or something that wasn't her fault, sue away. But it doesn't sound as if they were at fault.

Yippee! Free money for you! Don't worry, the other customers will pay for it.

Why claim?
It won't change anything.
It won't change the fact that it happened.
It wasn't tesco's fault.

creviazuk

It's not Tesco's fault your child tripped..it's YOURS for not ensuring your child didn't trip as she was not being adequately supervised as YOU let her run off towards the escalator.

YOUR FAULT so stop trying to blame somebody else and deal with it.

Thunderdog

Isn't she a bit young to be running about obviously not well enough supervised by you? Thats what they'll say.

Make a claim for what? They are not liable for your bad parenting.

Who lets a 1 year old loose on an escalator alone!?!?

So let me get this straight. You want to sue tesco because she fell over due to her own actions? Given the number of ambulance chasing, greedy c***s who call themselves solicitors then you probably could but maybe you should have been keeping better control of her instead of blaming someone else.

gembolatino

Yeah you can sue them, not sure how successful it will be tho, as they will wonder how a one year old was allowed to stick her fingers down there in the first place

Aimee

If tesco's are seen to be negligent or the fitters or makers of the escalators are then yes. You would be claiming about either companies Public Liability Insurance but it would have to proven that they were negligent before you would receive anything

Hope this helps

See a solicitor to get the sort of answer that you wont get on here.

lisa lisa8

what??!!!!! sliced? I would sue anyway!

*Nikki*

yes of course
but she must have been injured by this for 3 months or more

juandon666

i should imagine that if ur daughter has done it then it is very possibly and likey that it could happen to somebody elses child that may not get off quite as likely.its obviously a massive safety hazard and would definately reccomend seeking legal advice.Even if just to ensure efforts arer made for the fault to be rectified!
