One of the more unusual reasons for making a no win, no fee compensation claim is what the Americans have called the 'beauty parlor stroke syndrome'.
This is a condition in which a person's head being reclined for long enough, such as when the hair is being washed in a hairdresser's salon or beauty parlour, leads to a stroke for that person. It may also occur from painting ceilings, or from any other activity which keeps the head tilted further than is usual for lengths of time. An example is "Golden Gate syndrome" - personal injury resulting from staring up at San Francisco's famous bridge for too long.
What scientific evidence there is suggests that this cannot cause a stroke directly, but can bring one on in someone who is already predisposed to this type of personal injury. Other threats are simply of dizziness and discomfort as blood flow to the brain is restricted.
There is also little evidence of personal injury compensation claims being successful on this front, whether in the US or the UK. To be successful, a claim would have to demonstrate that the beautician had been negligent with respect to the client's health, and this is difficult to demonstrate.
One 21st-century case showed that a beauty parlour syndrome claim resulted in an appeal court decision that there was "no evidence whatsoever of a breach of duty which had a causal connection with [the claimant's] stroke".
If you are in the unfortunate position of having been afflicted with a stroke following the use of a sink in your beauty treatment, a personal injury lawyer will be able to help you decide whether you are likely to be successful in a personal injury claim.
