Hi I hope it is ok to post this here as I have no idea where else I can reach a large number of Blues.
On Wednesday 21st October 2015 I was involved in an accident upon leaving the ground at the end of the game. It was in the Champion's league against Seville and Kevin De Bruyne scored in stoppage time to ensure a 2-1 win.
Just as I was near the exit in South Stand level 1 I slipped on that lethal blue flooring that used to be there before it was replaced, injuring myself to an extent that I had bleeding on the brain. I was talking to a fellow City fan just prior to me falling who helped me up. Are you here and if so can you contact me by PM? Also I would be grateful for any other Blues who witnessed this to do the same. I appreciate everyone was rushing to get home but there were a number of fans in the vicinity who witnessed this, however briefly.
The club have been less than helpful to me since this happened, in fact it was the lack of care and concern when I contacted them that convinced me to seek legal advice. Some of you may remember I posted about this at the time.
Incredulously, in spite of the fact I was examined by a lady doctor in the clubs own first aid room and on her instruction was taken straight to MRI with the emergency siren and flashing blue light in operation, I have received this from my solicitor.
Liability Issues
The issue of liability is not quite as straight forward as you might think. Whilst it is quite clear you slipped there are some areas concerning recording of the incident which are missing. The ambulance service cannot trace their involvement. A clear record of the incident was not made on the day (I appreciate you were injured). It is incumbent upon the Claimant to prove that the accident happened and where the injury can be identified as happening at a specific time and place.
Do you have any witnesses of those who were with you at the time it happened?
Again apologies if I am breaking any rules by posting this but I am at a loss as to where else I can reach a large number of fellow Blues who may be able to help.
Cheers, Paul.
