If you were injured in a trip, slip or fall in a public place or on private property you might be entitled to compensation for your injuries and the losses that you have suffered as a result. Commonly such accidents occur on public footpaths or in buildings such as supermarkets and shopping centres. However, trips and falls can just as easily occur on private property, including rental properties. In both instances, the person responsible for the premises will usually be insured to cover personal injury claims.
In order to be successful in a personal injury claim following a trip, slip or fall, you need to prove that the person responsible for the area was negligent. Our knowledgeable lawyers will advise you on this depending on your specific circumstances.
Examples of trip, slip and fall compensation claims include:
- Slips on dropped items in shopping centres and supermarkets
- Slips on food and drink spillages in bars, restaurants and food courts
- Trips on uneven paving, tree roots, and manhole covers
- Trips in potholes and on uneven ground
- Falls from unstable cliff tops and terrain
- Slips and falls around swimming pools
- Falls down stairs
- Falls from bunk beds
