Hi new to this but i need a pointer.I will try to make this as short as I can.Had a accident 21/04/06 at work,broken nose,two teeth knocked out,small scar on my face.Went to solicitor told him i wanted to claim so he took notes i signed forms for PIAB claim.He told me this could take a couple of years to come through,fine i said left it at that.Two years passed last month,rang up to see if anything was happening with the claim,last week was told to come in and see him so i did.
He tells me he sent me out a letter saying he took advice from a barrister saying the case was high risk and i should seek advice elsewhere or claim myself from PIAB.I told him I never got the letter and asked to see a copy so he showed me it,turns out my address was not correct because he took the notes down in sort of shorthand and letter reached me.Now the two year deadline is passed and i cant go to another solicitor.What are my options?any advice would be helpful
