Why do you feel you are due compensation? For what? Your child is ok, apart from a few bruises. So what would compensation do for you? Will it heal the bruises quicker?

Nothing pedantic about my post. Your post was inaccurate, no 'cut' let alone 'cuts' have been mentioned by OP. Stick to the facts as supplied by OP. Where did the OP mention 'cuts'?...that's right nowhere!

Let us get some facts here. Mother put child in seat and then seat fell off wall? Did OP check the seat first ans see that child was secure?

Possibly not. But who is negligent. If toilet had been inspected during a period leading up to the perceived tragedy, then the Owner possibly is not to blame.
Then the child was not secured in the seat and the parent/carer is negligent.

As for injury, a child in their formative years does not have the ability to recall or form memory of events that to us cause harm. When injury occurs, and it is the same with you, the body goes into an automatic mode that seeks to redress the injury. At this point hormones are released into the body that act as fast painkillers, the persons memory of the event is blocked and not formed.

What other people see is SHOCK, which develops sometime after the event, normally this is the first thing another person will see. If the person is not in a safe environment, they will tend towards one.

As for injury, also the child’s bones and skeletal structure is supple and soft when compared to old aunt Mary, who if both fell at the same time, the child would possibly not be injured, Mary would possibly break her hip or leg..

As for the child (Under 7), same as a game of football in my other work. Child plays game and gets hit hard by a softball. Murmers, comes over and is quite ‘fragile’. Quick wasp of the magic cloth, !!!!! of the nose, word of encouragement and back in the thick of it. Tis life, get on with it.

As for memory not forming, I ripped my arm open coming off my bike aged 44! Cannot remember a thing about it, apart from ruining my best T-Shirt, and laughing at the prat at Hospital who had cut his thumb and was not operated on the following morn. Some cases are more important.

Some things in life are more important, and yes, we all bounce once or twice. No harm in that.

As for hitting my basket, I did not say I would swing it!

A what of the nose?

Also, now it's clarified the type of chair, it makes more sense. I was imagining a high chair balanced on top of a low brick wall for some reason, which made no sense to my tiny brain.

Blow?

I'll go with 'blow of the nose'.
