COMPENSATION FOR SLIPS, TRIPS AND FALLS

If you have had a trip or slip and injured yourself in the road, on the path or even in supermarkets/shops or their external premises, you may be entitled to compensation.  Wherever your accident occurred there will be someone who is at fault for your injury. With slips trips and falls, some examples of the public liability claims you may have are;

• Accidents in school/public play areas
• If you have injured yourself because of a pothole
• Uneven pavements
• Obstructions on pathway

Slips trips and falls can also occur during cold weather where the public roads were not supplied with the correct safety measures, such as gritting the road to ensure the road surface is not slippery.

How serious does an injury need to be to make a slip, trip or fall claim?

In the UK, to make a slip, trip, or fall claim, your injury must be serious enough to cause pain, suffering, or financial loss. This means minor bruises or cuts may not justify a claim unless they lead to complications.

You could have a valid claim if your injury:

• Required medical treatment (such as fractures, sprains, or head injuries).
• Caused time off work, resulting in lost earnings.
• Led to on-going pain, disability, or the need for rehabilitation.

The key factor is whether negligence played a role, such as a wet floor without warning signs, uneven pavement, or poor workplace safety. Consulting a personal injury solicitor can help determine if you have a strong case.

Client testimonial – Fall in a public place

“I had an injury at a major Supermarket so I contacted several solicitors to make a claim for compensation. Most stated that the compensation I would receive would not be worth making a claim.

Marley Solicitors stated the opposite and a claim was made. I was very surprised that I was offered more compensation than the claim put forward by Marley Solicitors. Yasmin was my Solicitor and she did a fantastic job, keeping me informed of the whole process putting me at ease.

I would not hesitate to contact Marley Solicitors if I need there advice in the future. Thanks for a job well done.”
