But with a NO WIN NO FEE; claim it states it in the name?!

Being if i don't win I DONT PAY

And the fact if i win, first capital connect pay for all the costs

But you want to win so there IS a fee. And no way would a court find those £24k costs reasonable. So one possible outcome is:
- You win
- You get £1500 compo for your toe
- £2000 costs awarded against FCC
- You owe your solicitor £20,500

I was thinking of this thread whilst watching the Remembrance Sunday service. I am embarrassed that people would think to claim for what amounts to a bit of sticking tape around his toes, when our past generations died and suffered life changing injuries for us to live as we do today. OP, please think of this when you decide whether to pursue this case further.

According to Kemp & Kemp's Quantum of Damages which lists awards from previous cases. Broken toe: £1,750-£3,000.

AFIAA all calls from station help points are audio recorded along with the CCTV footage. The CCTV may show the OP proceeding along the stairs with all due care and attention. Or it may show the OP paying more attention to his companion and not watching where he's putting his feet.

I once slipped on a path that HAD been gritted, badly fracturing my tailbone, leaving me in agony and off work for weeks. Not my fault. Not the gritters' fault. Maybe it was the path's fault for being just so new, smooth and hard.

Can you prove that if the path had been gritted, you wouldn't have tripped? Sorry, slipped.

Nobody's fault. Winter means ice. Ice is slippery.

and if he doesn't win although he'll have no fees to pay he'll still probably be liable for the expenses such as the medical reports etc.
