Make a claim for compensation following a slip, trip or fall accident. Slip, trip and fall accidents can happen almost anywhere. People regularly suffer injuries on uneven pavements, defects in the road, icy pavements, broken steps. Although the list is almost endless, slips, trips and falls most commonly occur in work accidents. Successful compensation claims can be made as a result of slips, trips and falls in many different circumstances.
These types of accidents can generally be grouped as follows:
- Accidents at work. Your employer has a legal duty to care for your health and safety whilst at work.
- Accidents on roads and pavements. Your local council has a legal duty to maintain the roads and pavements to a reasonable standard.
- Accidents in shops. Shopkeepers have legal duty to ensure the safety of their customers whilst on their premises, including the car park.
- Accidents in other places. Places that are accessible to the public are also covered by laws to protect people from injury.
- The most seemingly insignificant thing can often cause a very serious injury. A wet floor in a supermarket, broken chair in a restaurant, badly lit stairs in a car park, could all lead to successful compensation claims.
- If your slip, trip or fall was caused by a defect that shouldn't have been present, then you are entitled to make a clam for compensation if you suffered a personal injury as a result.
