A GRIEVING daughter has pledged to continue her fight for justice following the death of her mother in a tragic accident in Spain.

Rosemary Probert died after mistakenly walking into a glass panel and careering head-first down a flight of marble stairs in a Benidorm hotel in 2007.

An inquest has been told hotel staff were seen frantically placing warning stickers on the glass after the accident had happened and that paramedics failed to place 76-year-old Mrs Probert into a neck support despite the seriousness of the fall.

She died six days later after failing to regain consciousness following surgery for a broken neck.

District coroner Sheriff Payne told the Bournemouth inquest: “The warning on this glass panel was insufficient. It was not good that she was not attended to medically as she might have been had she been in this country.”

And after the inquest, Mrs Probert’s daughter, Sarah Probert, said: “I am very disappointed with the lack of evidence provided from Spain. Our family are going to take this further because we want to make sure it does not happen to anyone else.”

The Bournemouth inquest was told Mrs Probert, a widow, of Sandy Mead Road, Queens Park, was staying at the four-star Gran Hotel Bali in March 2007 as part of a group enjoying a bridge holiday.

As she walked out of a restaurant, heading in the direction of a lift, she accidentally walked into part of a glass atrium with such force that she staggered backwards and fell down the stairs.

The coroner heard at least two other people had made the same mistake in the days leading up to the tragedy, both suffering black eyes and bruising.

Witnesses said they had not noticed warning stickers on the glass before the accident but said a number were put up afterwards and that plant pots were also placed in front of the glass the following day.

The inquest heard it has taken two years for details of scans to be sent from a Spanish hospital and that attempts to get other medical details and X-rays have failed.

Recording a verdict of accidental death, Mr Payne said: “It is a pity that we have had to wait so long.”

Mrs Probert was a keen traveller who was a member of bridge groups in Bournemouth and was also involved in fundraising for the About Face cancer charity.
