Slip, Trip & Fall Accident Claims

Slip, trip and fall accidents are one of the most common types of accident. You can have a slip, trip or fall accident in a variety of circumstances, including:

• On an uneven road or pavement
• In a shop or supermarket
• On private land owned by others, including in other’s homes
• In a workplace

The injuries suffered in an accident of this type can be very serious, including sprains, broken bones, back injuries, head injuries and paralysis.

If you have had a slip, trip or fall accident, it is advisable to always take photos of the place you fell, when possible. It is good practice to also take a photo with a ruler to show the size of any defect if it is on a pavement or highway.

If you have an accident in a workplace or supermarket, it is also advisable to request that a record be made of your accident and any injury in the accident book. All of this information will help your solicitor when making a claim for injury compensation.

If you have suffered an injury as a result of a slip, trip or fall, you may be able to make a claim for compensation.
