Slip and Trip Claims Liverpool

Slips, Trips and Falls

Having an accident in public can be a traumatic event. People often think that if you slip or trip, you should “pick yourself up, dust yourself down, and get on with it”. Of course, sometimes an accident is just an accident, one of those things that happen from time to time, but other times it is caused by somebody not doing what they should be doing to prevent an accident from happening.

If you have sustained an injury as a result of a slip, trip or fall accident, you may be entitled to make a compensation claim.

• Claims for accidents in occupied buildings or premises, such as supermarkets, shops, theatres, or transport.
• Employers Negligence- Your employer is under an obligation to provide safe work environments under the ‘Health and Safety At Work etc. Act 1974’. Slip and trip accidents at work are usually caused by poor housekeeping due to wet floors not being cordoned off, or obstructions on the floor, causing slip and tripping hazards.
