I would like to get legal advice about an issue that happened a few months ago but I'm really not sure where to start or what type of lawyer we need. It would have to be no win no fee I guess as we have very little money.
I had a thread at the time and a few of you may remember- I am the lady whose nursery left my 2 year old in the toilets when all the staff went home. She was there alone for 45 minutes until my partner broke in with the caretaker and found her. She is OK thank goodness, and an enquiry has been completed, and the nursery will probably be closed.
However, it has caused us serious problems- neither of us drive, I have depression and a chronic illness that makes walking difficult and painful and this was our nearest nursery by a long way. I am now having to spend money on taxis and pay our childminder to drop off as I can't manage to walk to the childminder's and back each day. It's costing £100 per month in extra transport costs that we can't afford. There is no bus service around here that could make it easier- I'd have to take 3 buses and it would take 90 minutes each way, its a 25 minute walk each way.
There is also the emotional impact. My daughter is still upset and so am I and my partner. It has caused a decline in my mental health that I am just recovering from.
We're in Merseyside, but any recommendations of lawyers would help, or just what type of lawyer we need, I don't know what category this would come under. Does it sound like we might have a case? I am so out of my depth here!
