Read the following information to find out more about how Forster Dean can assist you with your slipping or tripping accident compensation claim.

Accidents on Roads, Footpaths, Pavements

If you have been injured as a result of a slipping or tripping over then you may be entitled to claim compensation against the person, party or organisation responsible for maintaining the area that caused the accident.

If your accident occurred on a public footway, e.g. a pavement, path or a public road you would make a claim against the local highway authority (normally the local council). To succeed with such a claim you need to show that a defect is sufficiently large to constitute a hazard and also that it has been in that dangerous state for an unreasonably long time.

Other examples of cases may include accidents on premises when at a supermarket, shop or whilst visiting private or publicly-owned property. In these cases, the owner/occupiers are legally responsible for your safety whilst you are on their premises. You can therefore bring a claim for compensation if you have suffered an injury as a result of their failure to take reasonable steps to ensure your safety.

Some local authorities will deny all slipping or tripping accident victims’ compensation claims as they want to take a stance against what they consider to be claims which deplete public resources. Forster Dean are experienced compensation solicitors and have the expertise to successfully fight any such stance and will not hesitate in supporting your claim through to trial to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
