Slip, trip and fall accidents

Slip, trip and fall accidents can happen almost anywhere, to anyone and often cause nothing more than a slight knock or bump. However in some cases, especially on slippery surfaces, the injuries can be far more severe.

If you have suffered a substantial injury from a slip, trip or fall and believe it was caused due to the negligence of another party, you are able to seek compensation. YouClaim can help you claim against the individual or company responsible and will ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

Types of slip and trip accidents

Successful cases following slips, trips and falls can be made in many different circumstances. These types of accidents can generally be grouped as follows:

• Accidents at work - your employer has a legal duty to care for your health and safety whilst at work.

• Accidents on roads and pavements - your local council have a legal duty to maintain the roads and pavements to a reasonable standard.

• Accidents in shops - shopkeepers have a legal duty to ensure the safety of their customers whilst they are on their premises, including the car park.

• Accidents in other places - places that are accessible to the public are also covered by laws to protect people from injury.

The most seemingly insignificant thing can often cause a very serious injury.  If your slip, trip or fall was caused by a defect that shouldn't have been present, then you should seek the advice from an experienced solicitor.

What to do following a slip, trip or fall

There are a number of practical things you can do at the accident scene, which will help any potential claim you may later make. If you are unable to do so at the time, return as soon as you can or ask a friend if they can do the following:

• Photograph the scene of the accident and anything else that may be significant including pictures of your injuries if they are visible and take further pictures if they worsen.
• Write down the names and contact details of witnesses who saw the
  accident happen or saw the defect
• If the accident happened at work or in a public place, make sure you report it to a manager and ensure they write it in their accident book
• Keep the shoes that you were wearing
