A slip, trip, and fall claim allows you to seek compensation for injuries caused by unsafe conditions in public or private spaces. These injuries can occur in various settings, including commercial buildings, supermarkets, streets, and parks. If a hazardous condition caused your injury, you could pursue a claim. Compensation can help with medical expenses, lost wages, pain, and other costs.
A slip, trip, and fall claim can provide the financial support you need during your recovery if you have been injured by unsafe conditions. The compensation you receive will depend on the severity and impact of your injuries and the financial losses incurred as a result.
To bring a slip, trip, and fall claim, you must act within three years of the date of injury. Those under the age of 18 at the time of the accident can bring a claim any time before their 21st birthday. Doing so quickly as possible means you will have the best chance of a successful claim.
Slip, trip, and fall claims can arise from various situations, including:
Injuries can occur when floors are wet or slippery without proper warning signs. For instance, a person could slip in a supermarket where a spill has not been cleaned up promptly.
Accidents can happen on uneven pavements, broken steps, or potholes. These hazardous conditions can lead to significant injuries like fractures and broken wrists or ankles.
Poor lighting can obscure hazards. For example, inadequate lighting in a stairwell can prevent individuals from seeing steps clearly and may result in the victim falling. In some cases, this may lead to spinal cord injuries and total paralysis.
Objects left in walkways, such as boxes or cables, can cause trips and falls. Ensuring clear and safe paths is crucial to preventing these accidents.
If you have been injured by unsafe conditions, bringing a claim can provide essential support and compensation. Here is how the process can help:
Compensation can cover vital medical costs, including specialist treatment, long-term rehabilitation programs, and ongoing care required for recovery.
If your injury prevents you from working, a claim can assist in compensating for lost wages or future lost earnings, offering financial relief during your recovery.
A slip, trip, and fall claim can provide compensation for both physical pain and emotional distress caused by the hazardous conditions.
A successful claim can secure funding for essential rehabilitation services such as physiotherapy, counselling, and other therapeutic interventions.
If a slip, trip, or fall has caused injury and damaged personal property, a claim can help cover the costs of repair or replacement.
Several steps are required to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. Here’s how the process typically works:
Your health is the top priority. Ensure you receive appropriate medical treatment and keep detailed records of your injuries and treatment.
Collect evidence to support your claim related to the hazardous condition and your injuries. This includes photos of the scene, witness statements, medical reports, and any other relevant documentation.
The team at CEL Solicitors has extensive experience handling these cases. We will provide expert advice and guide you through the legal process to make your claim as straightforward as possible.
During your first call, your solicitor will assess your case and explain your legal rights. They will also outline the potential outcomes, including the compensation you may be entitled to.
Your solicitor will help you prepare and file the necessary legal documents to start your claim. This includes detailing the incident, injuries sustained, and the hazardous condition.
Many claims are settled out of court. Your solicitor will negotiate with the responsible party or their insurance company to secure a fair settlement.
If a settlement cannot be reached, we may take your case to court. We will instruct a barrister to represent you, presenting the evidence and arguing your case to obtain the compensation you deserve.
It is essential to seek legal advice early to minimise financial risk and ensure the best chance of a successful outcome. Our no-win, no-fee agreement means you will not face financial risk if your claim is unsuccessful. With nothing to pay upfront, you have nothing to lose by bringing a claim.
