Question:
Mrs. Karen Chan has contacted our offices regarding an accident her 9-year-old daughter, Anna, had two weeks ago. The children were swimming in the backyard pool at Anna's friend's residence. Anna was rushed to the hospital, where she underwent treatment, including 12 stitches to close the wound, after cutting her foot on a drain cover that was not flush with the pool bottom. She's been informed that it will leave a scar. Anna is currently a part-time actress, and Mrs. Karen Chan believes that the scar will have a negative impact on Anna's career, therefore she intends to file a lawsuit against Neil Lau and Gia Lau.
