Overview

• The claim, filed by Amanda Hurst, seeks more than £1 million in damages on behalf of her daughter Harper Surman, now nine.
• The court papers allege the park failed to carry out an adequate risk assessment and to install barriers or warning signs at a low wall with a significant drop behind it.
• Harper suffered a fractured skull, a brain haemorrhage and a traumatic brain injury after falling about 1.5 metres from the wall in October 2019.
• The family disputes Haven Leisure’s reported assertion that Harper’s stepfather placed her on the wall, and the company has declined to comment.
• The filing says the mother seeks provisional damages to allow a future claim if Harper’s condition worsens, and notes planters and warning signs were added to the wall after the incident.
