SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

The Daily Mail said Monday that Doreen Prior, a teacher living in the town of Lewes, has accused the government agency of not properly maintaining the tree from which the branch fell and cut her head two years ago.

"I'm just so worried this could happen to a child with all the families that come down here. It was right on the path", Prior, whose age was not reported, said of the April 2007 incident.

The $488,500 lawsuit also alleges Prior has been unable to continue teaching as a result of aftereffects of the injury.

'"Suffering from extreme tiredness, she is still unable to return to teaching and is under great financial strain as a result", Prior's attorney, Laura Middleton-Guerard, alleges.

A High Court filing by Prior's legal team alleges the Environmental Agency admitted no regular safety checks had been conducted on the tree prior to the 2007 accident.
