Slip, Trip & Fall Claim
Accidents which involve falls, slips and trips are often thought of as trivial, many people do not realise that if you have a nasty fall it could have a serious impact on your life.
Many people who slip, trip or fall in public or private places do in fact suffer serious injuries such as broken bones and in some cases, the injury can have adverse consequences for life.
Every public and private organisation owes a duty of care to the public ensuring that premises are safe for visitors. Local authorities are responsible for the pavements and public highways and must ensure that they are in a safe condition for public use.
The following are just a few examples of injuries and accidents that happen much too often due to a lack of care by public and private organisations alike.
- Trips and Falls Due to defective pavements, kerbs and roadways.
- Injuries to motorists, motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians caused by poorly maintained roads or hazards on the roads.
- Council tenants and private tenants suffering injury or ill health due to badly maintained premises or inadequate repair work.
- Injuries to children whilst in playgrounds, sports centres and swimming baths.
