For Individuals

Trips, Slips and Falls Claims

This type of accident covers all sorts of different ways in which people are injured by the actions, inactions or negligence of others. For instance:

  • you could be walking along a pavement when a paving slab rocks beneath you, or is raised up, and you trip and lose your balance.
  • you could be out shopping when it has been raining and the shop has failed to put out matting to soak up excess water from shoppers’ shoes and you suddenly slip on a wet slippery floor.
  • you could be in a restaurant and walking to your table to be seated when suddenly you slip on some food that has been spilt onto the floor by a waiter and he has forgotten to clean it up.
  • you may have had a fall in or around your home which is owned by another party, such as a landlord

There are many other sorts of other tripping or slipping accidents that could occur, where you may be entitled to compensation. 

What types of injuries can be caused by having a Trip, Slip or Fall?

If you have had a Trip, Slip or Fall, you may have injuries ranging from mild to serious, including sprains and fractures to broken bones and head injuries. The injury is specific to the individual, the situation and the surrounding circumstances of the incident.
