Trip and Slip claim
Solicitors
They are usually just embarrassing, something we can laugh off. But
when they result in broken bones, pain, time off work and possible
loss of earnings, they are no laughing matter.
If you have a fall on someone else’s property
- at the gym, in a shop or an office, for example - the owner
owes you a duty of care. This means that walkways should be clear
and properly maintained, spills should be cleaned up, lighting
should be adequate and guard rails should be in place. If any of
these things have been overlooked, you may have a case for a trip
or slip personal injury compensation claim.
Roads, pavements and footways, on the other
hand, are usually owned by your local council, who must maintain
them in a ‘reasonable’ condition. Proving your case will involve
demonstrating that the footway was dangerous.
