Slip, Trip, Fall / Personal Injury

If you have been involved in an accident of any description and have suffered a personal injury as a result, contact us to obtain the best possible help and claim advice before taking any action. It is much better for your claim if we can investigate all of the facts while they are still fresh in your mind.

In order to make a successful personal injury claim and be awarded compensation for your injuries, it is first necessary to prove that someone else was to blame (was negligent). There may also be a breach of a statutory provision. Some accidents that are simply that, and could not have been prevented by anyone. In these cases, it is not usually possible to make a claim.

Even if you are partially to blame yourself (known as contributory negligence), you may still be able to claim damages.

If you have suffered personal injury following a fall you may wish to know in what circumstances a claim for compensation can be made? This advice generally covers the following:

  • In a shop or supermarket
  • On someone else's property
  • In the street / public place
  • In the workplace or whilst working off site etc.

Roads and pavements

Usually the responsibility of the local Council who have a duty to maintain the areas to a reasonable standard. If you are injured on a poorly maintained road or pavement then you may have a compensation claim. This cannot be taken to extremes but generally it is said that were a defect protrudes or indents by more than 1 inch then a claim may be possible subject to "inspection" records and maintenance checks.

Owners of premises

Shops, supermarkets, restaurants etc. have duty of care to ensure that customers facilities are safe. (Occupiers Liability Act 1957)

Public places including private homes

An accident claim may be possible and compensation the inevitable consequence.
