So let me get this right, it was raining but you're claiming that because there was no sign up you didn't realise the ground might be wet or that a wet floor might be slippery? Gone be with the days when people took responsibility for their own actions...
I had ligament repair done, and will be on going for min of 3 months. Expected to regain 80% use of thumb back..
Cheers
But even if there is no award, the claim has cost God knows how many thousands to get into court before a judge.Quite possible a judge could make an award but reduce it if it is felt the OP was partially to blame
3) it's just a personal injury claim
Hi guys, just wanted to clarify a couple points,
1) footwear I had on were perfect, infact I use them running around Dublin 3times a week on different surface wet and dry.
2) I am not sueing the stadium
3) it's just a personal injury claim
+ 1 on the PIAB, I've been called twice to the High Court as a witness for falls and claims. On both occasions I spent a wasted day sitting around whilst barristers shuffled to and fro hammering out a deal. It never reached a judge but I dread to think what the barristers fees were. In the end, AFAIK, the amount paid was probably not much bigger then what the PIAB pays out for such injuries as both plaintiffs, whilst had legitimate injuries, were milking their losses as a result of such injuries.But even if there is no award, the claim has cost God knows how many thousands to get into court before a judge.
This kind of claim / injury is exactly what the Injuries Board was established to look after in order to avoid legal costs and spiralling insurance costs. See Here. I'm amazed and a bit disappointed that no-one on AAM has suggested checking out this web-site first under headings like:
Have I a Claim?
What's My Settlement Likely To Be?
How Do I Proceed?
I'm not supporting or criticising the so-called "compo culture" but venues do have a duty of care for their patrons and this seems like the simplest and least costly means for the OP to check out his case.
