Slip, Trip or Fall Accident Injury - Compensation Claims in the UK
These are common accidents on public or private grounds. General trip / slips. Local authorities are liable for public spots and businesses are responsible for theirs. There are millions of roads and back roads in the UK that need heavy repair, so why aren’t they repaired. If you look on your street or road, you will find many defects in the capable hands of your council that are not attended to. Example 1 We have come across incidents where a defect just under 1 inch and caused a mother to twist her ankle and at the same time protecting her daughter from smacking her head on the ground. The women had a broken ankle, plastered with assisting crutches, body bruises and the council didn’t pay because the defect was too small. Example 2 A woman hit her toe into a raised slap of concrete and split her toe nail, she was paid compensation. Shopping Centre & Supermarkets When you walk into a shop or supermarket, you enter business premises owned or rented by the business. The business is responsible for accidents caused on their grounds. General accidents occur as you walk around a shopping aisle and your skirt gets trapped on the shop floor fittings and cause you to trip/slip straight onto the shopping cart and to the ground. The floor has just been polished and you slip with your shopping to the ground. Or alternatively shelf stacking is about to take place in the evening and boxes are placed near their shelves. You walk round the corner, don’t see the box and you trip and fall. When someone slips or falls, first thing they do is look around to see who’s looking. Then to save the embarrassment, get up and walk away, like nothing had happened. They need to stop, turn around and have a look at what caused them to fall, was it a defect or a hole? Was there a sign to indicate the defect, get a statement of witnesses, even keep any material that is defected by the accident. Remember, no matter how trivial the accident is, making a claim, compensates for the non full health resulted from the accident. Sometimes people don’t feel as bad but later in life it could be horrible.
