Holiday accident compensation

Hi all. I received a letter this morning, their "final attempt to resolve the matter" doubling the previous offer, still denying liability.
I have accepted £12,000 on my daughter's behalf and at the advice of my lawyer.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions/support/opinions.0 -
A good outcome I think, but they still attempt to wriggle out of liability. Who else could be liable though? If they are contending it is the hotel who is ultimately at fault they are still responsible because your contract is with them.0

I think you have done the right thing OP. Clearly your lawyer sees the amount offered as reasonable, with little expectation of a court substantially increasing this amount.
Given the nature of the incident it is understandable that they dispute liability.If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0 -
Given your lawyer's advice that seems like a pretty good result.
Well done for pursuing it0
