A child who fell and hit her head on a chair as she was coming in from the school playground has settled a High Court action for €30,000.
Lara Higgins was five years old when she suffered a laceration near her left eye area after she fell forward and struck her head on the chair which was propping open a door. She had sued the school.
Approving the settlement Mr Justice Garrett Simons noted the girl said another child had accidentally bumped into her as they lined up to go inside and she fell forward into the chair.
