A MUM who was left blind in one eye after falling into a bush has lost her £150k compensation bid against a housing association.
But her case was thrown out by Judge Heather Baucher, who said Ms Scales' fall was just an "unfortunate accident" for which no one could be blamed. As she returned to her home in The Glade, she fell on a large stone before going into a bush on the side of the drive.Giving evidence at the hearing she said: “Obviously it is dangerous, because I have lost an eye for it.Mrs Scales said that she had been left in agony and was sick because of the shock, and added that she had been with her daughter, 10, at the time.
He added that she now struggles with making food and drinks as well as seeing steps and other obstacles in her way.She attempted to sue the housing association under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, and claimed that they breached their duty to ensure that her driveway was in a reasonable condition.
