Occupiers Liability and Injuries

Slip, Trip and Falls - How to proceed?

If you suffer an injury from a slip or trip on any property, including on pavement or roadway due to a pothole or uneven paving or uneven walkway or because of something protruding in an aisle, you may be entitled to claim for compensation. Another accident example is slipping in supermarkets and other businesses due to a spillage or squashed produce on the floor.
You may be able to claim compensation whether or not you were injured on private or public land, property and premises. These types of accidents can occur anywhere and inevitable there is always someone to be held responsible for the lack of maintenance. Owners, occupiers and maintenance people and companies have a duty to ensure that property and premises are reasonably safe.
