Slips and Trips Claims and Compensation

It may seem frivolous to consider making a slips and trips claim, but if you fell and were injured because of someone else’s negligence you are entitled to do so. Slips and trips can happen anywhere, while walking along a pavement, at work or in any public place.

The key to a successful claim is proving blame. For example, if paving slabs were loose with no warning signs the local council could be held accountable for anyone who injures themselves tripping over them. Or if a shop does not act quickly to mop up a spill and a customer goes flying down the aisles, they could be considered to have failed to uphold their responsibilities to the public. If you have suffered an injury as a result of a slip or trip, consider whether you can make a claim.

Slips and Trips Compensation

As with all personal injury compensation, slips and trips compensation takes into account the wrongdoing or negligent behaviour of the person responsible and the nature of the injury.

Even a simple sprained wrist can have devastating consequences, so do not be put off from asking for slips and trips compensation because you think your injury is not severe enough. As well as giving you money to help with treatment and recovery and ease the worry of having time off work, compensation will hold those responsible to account and lower the chances of a similar incident happening again.
