A 58-year-old woman from Lewes, East Sussex is hoping that her no win, no fee solicitor can secure her around £300,000 head injury compensation following an accident in which a dead tree branch fell onto her head.
The head injury claim writ served to the High Court in London names the Environment Agency as the liable party on the grounds that it should have sought to ensure the tree was maintained. The woman claims to now suffer from impaired memory and reduced concentration.
"The Environment Agency had failed to carry out any inspection of the trees adjacent to the popular public footpath for a number of years," said the claimant's solicitor.
Adding, "Such simple measures could have prevented the incident from occurring and such serious injuries being sustained."
She also said that the accident has left the woman unable to work, "Suffering from extreme tiredness, she is still unable to return to teaching."
An Environment Agency spokesperson said that the case is currently with their solicitors.
