Slips Trips and Falls
Accidents involving slipping, tripping or falling are extremely common and can result in a wide variety of injuries, from a simple bruising to life-changing head and spinal injuries. Some injuries may last for days or weeks and others may require long-term treatment. Where injuries are sustained as a result of someone else failing to meet their legal obligations to prevent such accidents then you may be entitled to claim compensation from them – both for your injuries and also any legitimate out of pocket e
The majority of these types of accidents occur in public places or the workplace – slipping accidents are most commonly caused by wet floors or spillages that are not adequately warned against or cleaned up promptly, falls often involve ladders or staircases and trips are largely caused by objects being where they shouldn’t be, and cables or uneven surfaces such as broken or uneven paving flags or potholes.
