..Its ok saying you need legal advice, you probably do, BUT no-one is going to do it for free...
Very few solicitors have any idea how an inquest works - I know, I've seen them perform.
A solicitor can also annoy the coroner who can see the grieving family being fleeced for 'advice' they do not need.
The coroner will have already decided if the OP's mother has been badly treated or not.
I've also been to inquests where the coroner will draw on his experience of a particular hospital.
So he might say something like: 'This court has dealt with several inquests from the Blogs Royal Infirmary in the last few months and it has to be said in each case the standard of care...etc, etc.'
In terms of rattling a few cages, the coroner is the OP's friend, and his services are free - at point of delivery.
...Now checking the Rule 43 reports by coroners to see if earlier inquests have made similar recommendations...
ONB,
Why bother? You are only interested in the inquest into the death of your mother.
I get the impression elderly people falling out of bed is quite common, so any coroner worth his salt will be well on top of the background.
