Slips & Trips

Every year millions of people are injured after slipping or tripping on private or public property. Common locations for these kinds of accidents are:

• roads or footpaths
• supermarkets
• shops and shopping malls
• swimming pools
• driveways

If your accident happened on public property, it is likely your claim will be directed to the Local Authority which has a duty to manage and maintain public roadways and pavements.

If your accident happened on private property, your claim is likely to involve the occupier of the property, who is responsible for ensuring that persons entering the property are safe and will not suffer injury or damage due to its condition.

Your accident may have occurred for any of a number of reasons, including:

• broken, loose or uneven flagstones, kerbstones or steps
• loose or broken manhole cover or no manhole cover at all
• untreated roads or pavements during severe weather
• falling objects
• spillages or leaks
