hi guys,
Few weeks back I took a fall at a sports stadium, it was raining and I came from a dry area into to wet and slipped in standing water. Thought I sprained my thumb / wrist painful but was ok.
No Marshall around, no signage to advise that floor could be slippery or take caution wet wet.
Had a chat with a Marshall who took details, did not offer first aid apor advise where the post was... I followed up with email next morning to stadium, no reply.
Forward just over a week, pain in right hand is bad and turns out I got a fracture and torn ligament in right hand. Surgery needed and now out of work 4 weeks.
Follow up email to stadium update on status and see if they got the first email as got nothing back.
I get a reply saying sorry, first email was missed, also from head of safety that marshals not on duty during half time and they don't use caution signs to advise when floor is wet from rain.
Do I have grounds for personal injury claim..
I had ligament repair done, and will be on going for min of 3 months. Expected to regain 80% use of thumb back..
Cheers
