Slip Trip or Fall claims

If you have suffered personal injury following a fall you may wish to know in what circumstances a claim for compensation can be made? This advice generally covers the following:

In a shop or supermarket On someone else's property In the street / public place In the workplace or whilst working off site etc

Roads and pavements - Usually the  responsibility of the local Council who have a duty to maintain the areas to a reasonable standard. If you are injured on a poorly maintained road or pavement then you may have a compensation claim. This cannot be taken to extremes but generally it is said that were a defect protrudes or indents by more than 1 inch then a claim may be possible subject to "inspection" records and maintenance checks. 

Owners of premises - shops, supermarkets, restaurants etc. have duty of care to ensure that customers facilities are safe. (Occupiers Liability Act 1957)

Public places including private homes - are the responsibility of the "occupier" of the premises who has a duty to take such care as is reasonable to ensure that any visitors or users are safe. Where this duty is breached - an accident claim may be possible and compensation the inevitable consequence.
