Slips, Trips and Falls

Had a slip, trip or fall and wondering about compensation?

There are two main types of accident outside the workplace:

Accidents in the street

Your local council is responsible for keeping roads and pavements maintained and in a reasonable condition. The council can only avoid blame if they can prove that the street in question was inspected in accordance with the relevant guidelines. The frequency they have to inspect varies depending upon the location of the accident.

Slips, trips and falls compensationAccidents in other areas

If you enter a public place e.g. a supermarket, bank etc, the owners of that building have a duty to ensure that you are safe whilst on their property. This includes ensuring that the building and fixtures and fittings are in a good state of repair and that any hazards, for example a spillage, are cleaned up so as not to cause an accident.
