Slip and trip accidents can happen anywhere. They can result in particularly nasty injuries such as broken limbs, severe cuts or head injuries. If the trip and fall happens whilst you are out and about in a public place and the accident is caused by a hazard such as a badly uneven or slippery surface you may be able to claim compensation.

Typical slip, trip and fall accidents include:

• Tripping on uneven paving slabs, into potholes, over loose kerbstones

The Council has a duty to maintain pavements and public highways in a reasonable condition, so you may have the right to make a claim for your injuries against them. However the law allows Local Authorities a defence against slip, trip and fall injuries as long as they have regularly inspected the highways. This makes these cases quite difficult to win so you need a specialist solicitor with expertise in slip and fall accidents. You will need to provide evidence such as photographs and witness statements to back up your claim.

• Slipping and falling on spilt food or liquids in cafés or supermarkets

Anyone who allows access to the public has to ensure that their premises are safe. If they have not made reasonable efforts to cordon off unsafe areas such as wet floors or spillages they could be liable and you could make a successful slipping claim.

• Tripping and falling over a hazard at work

Employers also have a duty to look after your safety and if correct safety measures have not been made you can claim for slip and trip injuries against your employer, usually via their insurance company.

Slip, Trip and Fall Accidents Case Study

Mrs H slipped on a piece of cucumber whilst carrying a tray of hot drinks at the cafeteria of her local supermarket, this resulted in injuries and scalding to her arm. We helped Mrs H to claim against the supermarket chain and she received £4600 in compensation.

Mr P slipped on steps at his local fish and chip shop, fractured his knee and had to have a considerable amount of time off work. The steps comprised of slippery tiles and no anti-slip measures had been taken. Thus the shop owners were found to be liable and we were successful in obtaining £12,000 in compensation for this client.
