You could try but would not succeed. Why should the infant not be a guest.

And further one needs to understand German procedural law to understand how the court came up with 55 Euro. Under German procedural law the court has the discretion to estimate a damage based on the facts pleaded. If LH pleaded a sound calculation the court has the discretion to accept this. If the other party even fails to contest such calculation, the court is even (in general) bound by such calculation.
