Can I Sue After Getting Trapped In A Car Wash (Through No Fault Of My Own)

[kzdutchie]

Can I sue after getting trapped in a car wash, I followed all instructions as given but was stuck, no one came to my assistance and I remained stuck shouting for help. I could not get out of the vehicle as the machine was still active. I called the car wash provider but no-one answered the phone. Eventually I got through to a family member who notified staff. Since this happened I have not been sleeping or eating properly. I get paranoid about getting locked in places and feel trapped in tight places. I have not been able to look at a car wash since

Get yourself on the Xfactor next year. with a tragic, harrowing, etc. back story like this you are almost bound to win.

I am pleased that you have awarded Mamyalynne the 'Best Answer' because she has certainly advised you the best course of action at this stage.

Incidentally, you can sue for anything, but so often it can be very costly and a complete waste of time. O.K. there are firms of Solicitors who offer 'No Win No Fee', but it could be the case that in a Win Situation the Solicitors fees could exceed the amount of Compensation awarded by the Court.
