HOW MIGHT I END UP SLIPPING OR TRIPPING?
There are plenty of ways you might end up slipping or tripping over. You could, for example, fall over on a poorly maintained footpath, that is under the council’s responsibility. Or you might trip over improperly in laid paving stones in the town centre.
If you are inside, you may slip over on a wet floor because the cleaning company forgot to put out a sign warning you of a slippery floor.
Whatever the cause of slips and trips, if it leads to you falling to the ground, it’s likely that you will hurt yourself. Sometimes, the damage is minor – a graze to your knee and bruised pride maybe. But, sometimes the slips and trips can end in serious injury. Even what might seem like minor slips and trips can end up causing debilitating back injuries or broken ankles. People are often surprised by the severity of an injury sustained by a slip or trip and the consequences the injury can have.
The most common types of slip and trip compensation claims we see are:
- Icy Pavement Compensation Claims
