All organisations (both public and private) have a duty of care to ensure all visitors on their premises are safe. Likewise, local authorities are responsible for ensuring that public pavements and highways are safe for use.
Whilst many trips and slips are minor and trivial, unfortunately many can result in serious injuries which may have very important long term effects. This is particularly true for the elderly and vulnerable, for whom an injury like a broken hip may result in long term disablement.
If you have suffered a serious or threatening injury from a trip or slip, be it in public or on a private organisation’s premises, then contact our specialist claims solicitors to discuss how you might benefit from a compensation claim.
We obtained £29,500 for a woman who fractured her shoulder after tripping in a pothole whilst using a zebra crossing outside a tube station.
