if its compensation you want then what are your actual damages or losses. ie what occurred to you that casued an identifiable financial loss. what ever that loss is is what the offer should be around.
The basic pricniples are reasonability and that the person incurring the damage should not be in a significantly better (or worse) position that they were before the incident
eg if they damaged an article of clothing, they should pay for the repari or replacement of that item (to a certian extent its your decision if its a replacement or repair, but you should be reasonable (you should not expect a new garment to replace a bettered, worn satined garment that say fell apart whilst being cleaned for you).
you mention hospital treatement so any reasonable bills incurred in the treatement (eg medical costs,any perscription charges, physiotherapy etc..) any time off work
So if you have a legitimate claim then approach the hotel, you say a minor accident, but dont specify. even if they admit liability then almost certainly you will get something. probably an offer to put right what went wrong, and I wouldnt be surprised if there were additonal things aswell such as replacement tickets or somehting gratis from their normal products & services.
If you want more then you need, in my view justify, why you need more. if you have visions of walking off with a few thousand quid at their (and everyone who insures with thte same insurer) expense then go for it.
But ask your self this, are you demanding compensation, or seeking to blackmail the hotel into giving you money. The ask youself why you think insurance rates are going through the roof.
If all you want is as much money as possible then got to a personal injury firm, if you do make sure its is a no fee / no win company and not a scamster like the much missed (as if) The Accident Group whose main trading activity was to sell credit deasl to ay lawyers.
As the UK has followed the US in allowing money grubbing scum (a.k.a.: lawyers) chase this type of activity on contingent fee basis there are masses of people out there who will make a claim on your behalf. however all they are interested in is them getting a fee (which they do by successfully getting cash out of the target compnay or its insurers).
the only paperwork they should ask to to sign is that they will rpresent you, not that you should pay them anything, unlesss they win. If you do sign and they want you to sign a massive contract get their represetnative to countersign the docuemnt including a statement that there are no fees payable by you, na dthat any nmonies they receive will be from the victim / target.

So satisfied to work out you back. I did omit you and elegance the position you've been. The trolls have had to %. on some different person on your absences. yet do not hardship, Buk picked up the slack for you in that section. because you at the instant aren't to any extent further strapped to a mattress and being stated you need to be o.ok. On a severe word, i'm particular it develop right into a harrowing time if this extremely got here about. sense free now and and understand you've been easily ignored.

You should receive compensation but you will probably have to put in a claim and that will then be handed to their public liability insurer.
You can do it your self or take it to a solicitor, some specialise in this type of work and have a no win no fee and you do not pay costs they extract it from the insurers.
If you take that route just make sure you fully understand what the solicitor is offering before agreeing to let him/her take the responsibility of proceeding on your behalf.

If they have admitted liability, get hospital cost repaid. But be grateful that you have lived to tell the tale. It seems to be that too many people are keen to jump on the suing band wagon. Can't people accept that accidents do happen any more!

That depends on what kind of accident it was. Not all accidents are seen as being the hotel's liability.
If you were the one that wasnt careful, causing the accident in the first place then no - they wont be seen as being liable.

In this country a woman who spills hot coffee on herself can get a million dollars from McDonalds, so I guess the sky is the limit.

See what they offer, if it feels satisfactory then take it. If not then tell them what you feel would be reasonable. Somewhere in the middle is a mutual solution hopefully. It gets ugly if you start talking about solicitors etc.

they should pay for hospital bill's and maybe give you a discount on your hotel bill and if you are lucky you may get champagne on the house

You might be offered a stupidly low amount of compensation if you agree not to sue them.
Personally I would contact one of them "no win, no fee" places and sue their asses!
