Slipping or Tripping Accidents Injuries Claims
If you have suffered injury after a slipping or tripping accident or a fall in a public place because of a poorly maintained pavement or other walkway, you may be entitled to claim compensation for your personal injuries and any other losses or damage that you have sustained. Poor maintenance may result in a number of different kinds of defects in surfaces that create unnecessary hazards and cause accidents resulting in claims for compensation. For example, paving slabs may be broken or floors may be wet and slippery. Compensation claims would have to be paid by whichever body was responsible for making sure the place where you happened to be when you were injured was safe. For example, if you were out in the street, the local authority would be responsible to ensure the safety of pathways to avoid accidents. If you were in a supermarket, club or leisure complex, the owners would be responsible for taking action to minimise the risk of accidents.
One can imagine the sort of situation that would give rise to claims for compensation after these types of accidents and we give some examples below :-
-
Tripping accident when
catching a foot on broken paving slab in the street
-
Suffering injury in an
accident when losing balance and falling over after
stepping in pothole in the road
-
Accident caused by tripping
over raised tree roots on the pavement
-
Falling down flights of steps
after slipping off the edge of a broken step
-
Slipping accident on
vegetable or fruit juices from product fallen to the
floor in supermarkets
- Slipping accident on damp floors of shops or restaurants just cleaned where there are no warning signs
