Hi - my friend's nine-year-old daughter has been badly burnt in a cafe after a waiter tripped and spilt boiling hot tea on her. My poor friend can't work as her daughter is off school and is out of pocket already for all the taxis to and from the burns unit and hospital (she will have to go back every two days). I think she should approach the cafe and ask them to pay her compensation but I want to make sure she approaches it in the right way. There are so many 'no win/no fee' firms when you Google it but does anyone have a personal recommendation of someone who might be able to offer my friend some legal advice on how to proceed? Even though it was an accident the cafe handled it uselessly and didn't even take any contact details to see how her daughter is.

Irwin Mitchell, though not local (Holborn), have a very good reputation and a team dealing with children's accidents. Have a look at their website:


https://www.irwinmitchell.com/personal/personal-injury-compensation/accidents-in-public-places-claims/childrens-accident-claims



IM offer a free first consultation and proceed on no win/no fee.


When I was in practice I signposted clients to the firm for PI cases.


I don't suggest using an umbrella service like National Accident Helpline (mixed quality and can end up with a solicitor in another part of the country).

      Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.

      Spay/Neuter Your Cats!

      By TWB Cat Sitter · Posted

      Hi Nigello, Many spayed/neutered & microchipped cats actually don't wear collars, as they often go missing & can pose risks.  Microchipping is far more reliable for reuniting lost cats with their guardians. Some of our clients even keep sacks of collars on standby because their cats frequently return without them - a comical but telling example of how impractical collars can be. A major contributor to unspayed/unneutered cats & kittens is purchasing from breeders, where these measures are often overlooked. Adopting from shelters, on the other hand, ensures all precautionary steps - like spaying/neutering, microchipping, as well as vaccinations - are already in place.
