Foot Injury From Fall In Commercial Building

[Lemon_Line]

Good morning all,

I am posting on behalf of my partner who had fallen at a resturant back in December 2016.
Children were playing and the waitress suggested she take them outsude to play and opened a fire esacpe for them to use, when she came back in to grab her coat she slipped on the mat used outside the fire esacpe door (like a cocanut mat) the gripping had worn.

She was sent to A&E nothing was found, later it was discovered that there was torn ligaments, the company accepted liability and so we consulted with their solictors, they have been sending us around in circles and now we need to step it up a gear (3 years to claim, right?)

My question is, how should we proceed, we have approced a 'no win no fee' but signed nothing yet, as they have accepted liability would it be better to avoid the 'no win no fee'?

Thanks for reading

Hi
Sorry for having missed your original post.

Whilst you could continue by yourself, do you know how to quantify your damages.?
Has there been a medical examination and prognosis specific to your partner?
Has a report been produced, and have you a copy?

Further, as liability has been admitted (in writing?) you should be able to find a specialist solicitor to agree to deal with your claim on the basis that you will receive any negotiated level of compensation in full (i.e. so the solicitor is “cost-free” as far as you are concerned)
This is because the solicitor will be paid separately by the restaurant's public liability insurers according to an agreed scale. The level of fee the solicitor receives is proportional to the level of compensation paid to you but it is paid in addition to your compensation.
There should be no need to go to a "no win no fee" solicitor.
