Pavement accident (injury claim) solicitors
Injuries sustained when someone trips, slips or falls on an uneven pavements or road surfaces can be a nasty experience. You may be forgiven for envisaging cuts, grazed knees, bruises and a feeling of embarrassment. Thankfully, in the majority of cases this is true where someone slips or trips on an uneven pavement or road surface.

However, there are times when loosing your footing can cause serious injury and long-term effects. It’s even worse when you realise that your injury was caused due to negligence of others.

Uneven pavement accident claims legal advice
Like any structure, road surfaces and pavements deteriorate over time. It is the duty of your local council (highways authority) to ensure that highways, road surfaces and pavements are maintained to a reasonable condition. Councils have been criticised for allowing pavements to fall into disrepair. Potholes in roads are a common form of injury.

It is accepted in law that no highway (road surfaces or pavements) can be maintained to perfection, otherwise everyone could bring about a personal injury claim. However, if the road surface (potholes) or uneven pavement were you suffered the injury was not in a reasonable condition you may be entitled to bring about an injury compensation claim. It is important to seek specialist legal advice from a qualified personal injury claim solicitor. We have vast experience in this area succeeding in obtaining compensation in many cases.
