Hello all, earlier today my mother was injured at her local leisure centre, entering the changing rooms she got distracted by the cleaning crew and the door swung against her; for some reason there was piece of sharp metal at the bottom of the door and it cut her foot, she had to go to A&E and required 9 stitches. I feel this is a result of gross negligence on the part of the leisure centre, if there was jagged metal sticking out of a door it suggests very poor maintenance. No one in my family has ever sued anyone before but in this instance I think requesting compensation is justifiable. My mother's in her 70s and emotionally fragile, if we're going to pursue this I'll need to do most of the work. Can anyone advise me on where to start? I know there are tons of 'no win no fee' injury lawyers out there, but are they any good? What are the proper channels to go through? Should I contact the leisure centre first? Tomorrow I'm seeing my mum and will try and get a full account of what happened.
