Trips & Slips

Trip and fall accidents can happen almost anywhere - outside on a pavement, in a supermarket, in a restaurant, in school, on holiday or at work.  Claims arising out this type of accident are frequently seen as trivial and examples of what the press calls the “compensation culture”.  However, the truth is that most tripping or slipping accidents involve serious soft tissue injuries and/or broken or fractured bones. 

If you have visited a public place and you have fallen, tripped or slipped and it was not your fault you may be able to make a compensation claim against the owner or local council responsible for maintaining and monitoring the place you are in.
