‘The Little Mermaid’ Producers sued for £150,000 by special effects artist over on-set wrist injury

Christine Overs, a special effects artist who broke her wrist when she fell from a beach scene and onto a concrete floor when part of the set gave way while filming for Disney’s live action Little Mermaid remake is suing for £150,000.

Ms Overs says the injury to her left wrist has ruined her career which requires precise finger movements because she now struggles even to do up buttons and zips, or lace shoes.

Sandcastle Pictures Ltd, the company set up to make the film has admitted liability for the fall but is disputing the amount she is claiming in a case at Central London County Court. A trial will take place for the Court to decide the amount of damages, to take place at a later date.
