    Its the council that should be sued for wasting time in getting a real surface on. Planning turn over time for things like this should hours not weeks or months

    >[Jeremy Clarkson](https://archive.is/o/Vp8lu/https://www.standard.co.uk/topic/jeremy-clarkson) is reportedly being sued by a woman who suffered a serious injury after falling in the car park of his Farmer’s Dog pub.

    >Elizabeth Palmby, 68, says she broke her ribs and sliced her hand open after tripping on “razor sharp” temporary metal covers that had been placed over the muddy ground at [the Oxfordshire pub](https://archive.is/o/Vp8lu/https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/jeremy-clarkson-boycott-the-farmers-dog-pub-labour-mps-ban-b1262964.html).

    >She is seeking compensation after having surgery to remove metal fragments from the covers that were embedded in her hand and was left with a “horrible” jagged scar.

    …..

    >Clarkson has applied for planning permission to install a permanent hard surface to the car park, which has been approved by West Oxfordshire District Council.

    Really it’s the councils fault he would have sorted the car park asap if he was actually given planning permission. Perhaps next time she won’t walk next to the sharp cordoned off metal on a boggy car park

    Who would have thought putting metal sheets on already waterlogged, muddy ground would have been an accident risk?

    If a business can’t make sure their car park is safe for customers, they shouldn’t be open. Yet again Clarkson rushing into things without having the basics in place.

  5. Things like this happen everyday. This is why you have insurance.
    The only thing that makes this different is the fact that the premise is owned by a celebrity.

    Just cos it’s Clarkson it’s headline news happens to nearly every business… Insurance job simple

    Decades ago, your mother would blow on cuts and grazes and say “All better now”.

    These days, it requires a bank full of money to make the hurt “all go away.”

    When I fall over, my first thought is “look where you’re bloody going, fool”. Sadly, there is a growing tide of paupers, looking for an early retirement for a slip or trip that is usually their own fault.

    It won’t be much given the NHS would have foot the medical bill, and UK doesn’t have such massive claims for things like this. Insurance company will deal with it with her directly. Though with this being made public and damaging reputation there may be a reason for Clarkson to attempt to prove no fault.

    >She said she couldn’t “forgive herself” if an elderly person […] was injured on the metal covers, knowing she could have alerted them to it.

    I realise we’re all only as old as we feel, but….

    I think the wound is blown out of proportion a bit – she had a few broken ribs (not quite sure how she managed that since she landed on her hands and knees) and only needed 10 stitches and a few bits of metal taken out of the wound in her hand.
