I am sorry to hear about your accident and hope you start to feel a little better soon.
Certainly it may be worth investigating making a claim a little further and indeed I would suggest you consult a solicitor who may be able to help. You may wish to consider our website below or click on the ad to the right of this post.
In terms of dealing with a claim of this nature they tend to be very tricky however the fact that the council/owner of the carpark have since marked the area showing and warning of the hazard this will obviously go in your favour. Most councils or local authorities will not spend money if they dont need to.
I assume that you reported the incident to the council after the accident or the people that run the dance class which is what prompted them to paint the kerb? Could you confirm?
The photographs will certainly help you when making a claim. As well as obtaining financial compensation you may be able to obtain rehabilitation on a private basis also, this could include physio and also some counselling to assist with the depression.
Making a claim for personal injury is absolutely free to you provided you abide by the Agreement with the solicitors and you should obtain 100% of your compensation. Do contact us if you wish to discuss the matter further.
