Accident Compensation Claim

Slip, Trip and Fall Compensation Claims

This category is fairly broad but in essence a claim for compensation for personal injury can be made where a fall has occurred which was not your fault and was the direct result of the area in question being in a dangerous and hazardous state.

Common types of accident claim are:

  • Trips and slips caused by dangerous and defective
    roads and pavements.
  • Trips and slips in shops or other public places
  • Slips caused by dangerously slippery or wet floors
  • Slips caused by over polished floors
  • Trips caused by dangerous carpets or flooring
  • Trips caused by obstructed walkways

Compensation Claim Information

The only way to prove that an area is dangerous and thus a tripping hazard is by providing photographic evidence. It is essential that the exact location and exact defect is identified and it is always a question of fact as to whether or not the area was dangerous or not. The law applies common sense rules in cases such as this.

However as with all claims it is preferable if witnesses are available to give evidence. It is also beneficial to a claims success if the matter was reported to the relevant local authority or shop-keeper.
