What is a Slip, Trip, or Fall Compensation Claim?

If you’ve been injured in a slip, trip, or fall that wasn’t your fault, you are entitled to seek compensation for your pain, suffering, and the impact the injury has had on your life.

The majority of slip, trip, and fall claims arise from accidents in public places such as:
  • Shops, supermarkets, restaurants, bars, and parks
  • Uneven or poorly maintained pavements and roads

Claims are generally made against the party responsible for your accident. Depending on the situation, this could be:

  • A private business
  • The local council
  • For workplace incidents, your employer

At Claims24, we understand that even though falls are common, they can severely affect your life. Our specialist personal injury solicitors are here to guide you through the claims process and ensure you receive the maximum compensation you’re entitled to.

Slip, Trip, or Fall Circumstances

We could help you make a successful claim for a fall, slip, or trip for various circumstances including;
  • Tripping on uneven pavement – providing the defect was more than an inch high and the organisation or council responsible for that area was negligent in maintaining the area to a proper standard
  • Slipping because on a spill that has not been cleaned up
  • Falling from a ramp or walkway
  • Falling down the stairs because of an uneven surface or a defective handrail
  • Inadequate lighting that makes it difficult to see kerbs or other obstacles

Contact our team 24/7 for expert advice and to protect your rights.

How Do I Know Who is at Fault for My Slip, Trip, or Fall?

In most cases, the party responsible for your injury will be the local council, businesses, or property owners who failed to maintain safety standards or uphold their duty of care. All councils, businesses, and property owners are legally required to take reasonable steps to ensure public safety.

If they breach this duty, and you’re injured as a result, you may be entitled to compensation
Our experienced solicitors can assess your specific situation and advise you on who is at fault and who your claim should be made against. Commonly, the claim will be against:
  • The local council
  • The supermarket, shop, or shopping centre where the accident took place
  • The property owner of the building or venue
  • The owner of a restaurant, pub, bar, or nightclub where you were injured
