Slip and Trip Claims
Slip, Trip and Fall claims explained
Many slip, trip and fall claims are the result of liquid spills on floors and defects in pavements. A claim exists whenever the business, local authority or property owner is negligent or in breach of their legal duty. Claims against Local Authorities are often referred to as Public Liability whereas claims occurring on private property as called Occupiers Liability claims.
If you have suffered a slip, trip or fall caused by the fault of another person or party, such as a business or the local authority, you may be able to claim compensation. Claims are subject to time limits and other exemptions which we explain during our free assessment.
We can help you claim compensation in a variety of circumstances:
- Falling downstairs due to a poor surface or faulty railings
- Tripping on a poorly maintained pavement
- Tripping on cables or spillages
- Falling from a height like a ramp or a ladder
Accidents at work
Employees who are injured during employment at work in England or Wales are protected in two ways.
Firstly, it is illegal for an employer to terminate your employment if you claim for an accident at work.
Secondly, employers are required by law to have Employers Liability insurance in place to protect staff in the event of a workplace accident. This means compensation is claimed from the employers’ insurance company and not directly from the employer.
