Accident at car dealership - what are my rights?

born_again

This cropped up on our local facebook group

Honest question (no, I’m not whinging). If the paths have been failed to be gritted and cleared at the side of main roads (A-- for example) and a person falls due to the ice/snow on the path, who is to blame? The Council can’t have it both ways.

Many answer of personal responsibility. A few stupid ones. Before poster stopped replies.

This was clearly not the forum with the relevant expertise to ask my question. For those saying not to waste your time, you chose to engage repeatedly and spend it on often simplistic, misguided, or occasionally insulting answers. I came with a genuine request for advice, but Internet keyboard warriors strike again...gosh, I'd hate to know some of you in real life and feel sorry for those who do.

For those who offered genuine and constructive help and advice, thank you! For the person who suggested a different forum, my particular thanks as that seems to be where the expertise lies. 

If I could close the thread I would do so, but by all means don't feel 'pressured' to waste any more of your time with continuing the discussion, as I have found a more helpful and constructive source of information.

Other than that thread you screenshotted is not commenting on how you get them to admit liability nor give you an apology. It was only on page 3 of this forum that you actually clarified what you did want if it wasnt compensation. 

I would be interested in the screenshot of where they say how you will get them to admit liability when there is going to be no claim associated with the incident. If such a screenshot is provided I would be questioning their competency rather than the people on this forum (as someone who posts on both)

The best you will get, without there being a claim made (which you stated you didnt want to do in the original post), is something along the lines of "we're sorry to hear you fell and that our colleagues were not sympathetic. We hope you are felling better soon and will discuss matters with the colleagues at the branch"
