A claim for accident compensation is being made by a mother from Gwent for her six year old son, after he suffered serious personal injury when a dry stone wall collapsed on top of him.
The accident took place close to the Jim Owen Park in the Gwent village, where Harley Chivers, from Cwmtillery, was playing with his friends on Brookside Row, when one of the youngsters pulled a stone from the wall, causing it to collapse on top of Harley.
The reports claim that in the incident Harley suffered a nasty head wound which needed to be glued. Besides, he also required stitches to his lip and knee and after his front teeth were pushed backwards by the falling debris, his jaw bone was chipped.
Consequently, against Blaenau Gwent council, his mother Claire Hockey has now launched a claim for personal injury compensation on her son’s behalf.
