Slips, trips and falls are quite prevalent and are most common in public and work places. The worst of these kind of accidents can prove to be fatal but they can also lead to head injuries, back injuries, fractures and in the worst cases, paralysis.
Unlike some other claims such as road traffic accident claims, these can be somewhat difficult to make, especially as collecting evidence can be quite daunting. Moreover, in some cases, especially if the accident occurred on the street, it’s hard to determine who to make the claim against.
Some examples of trips and falls where you might be entitled to make a claim:
- Wet or slippery floors where no warning signage was present
- Uneven pavements or outdoor car parks where you have tripped and sustained an injury
- Tripping over wires or cabling
