Slip, Trip or Fall Injury Claims

Often, slips, trips and falls could have been easily prevented by simple safety equipment or adequate warning signs.

If you have been injured in such circumstances and another person(s) is to blame, you may be legally entitled to ask for compensation.

Fall injury claims are quite common, particularly because they are so easily prevented. These claims often arise after an injury at work such as falling from a ladder or other high place. If the employer or person with a duty of care did not ensure that the correct equipment or training were given, or that adequate safety measures were taken, they may be liable for injuries that occur. Injuries can be as mild as a sprained ankle, or as severe as brain damage or spinal injuries.

Tripping injury claims are similarly common.

Trips can occur on uneven paving slabs, over carelessly discarded packing tape in a warehouse or even over wiring in an office. All of these causes of the injury claim for tripping can be easily remedied and so should not be allowed to remain hazardous to passers-by or employees. Although injuries sustained in this manner are often mild, it is all too common that permanent damage can occur. Knee injuries are often sustained after a trip or a slip, as are broken bones in the arms as the victim extends their arms to protect themselves.

Get legal advice

If you are thinking of making an injury claim for tripping, or a claim following a slip or fall, the first port of call should be to a legally trained advisor who can give you the information that you require in a confidential, obligation free chat. Once your details are taken and should you wish to proceed with your valid claim, the advisor can then match you to the ideal solicitor to assist you. This solicitor will have been chosen due to their experience in similar claims and you can be assured that they will be a fully qualified professional who will work their hardest to get you the compensation you deserve.

Tripping injury claims and fall injury claims should be pursued not only for the monetary compensation to the claimant, but also so that the liable party is made to accept responsibility for their failure to take care. By being made to accept the consequences, they are more likely to put measures into effect to prevent similar accidents occurring in the future, thus protecting others from a similar fate.
