The Slip, Trip, and Fall Compensation Process
The act of claiming compensation for a slip, trip, or fall is not as straight-forward as road traffic accident claims, as it can be hard to establish blame and fault. That’s why we always recommend that you employ the services of our specialist personal injury lawyers to give you the best legal guidance and maximum compensation awards possible.
Our Stockport accident claims team are just one phone call away, and will quickly be able to tell you whether you can claim for personal injury compensation. The amounts will vary depending on your injuries, and we can usually give you an indication of what’s possible when you call.
Slips, Trips & Falls at Work
In the majority of cases our clients will have been injured in a slip on a slippery surface such as oil or water. If the accident happened at work it is most likely due to the negligence of another person, for example if the cleaning has not been done properly.
Businesses and companies are required by law to ensure your safety. This involves the correct training as well as placing warning signs if there are hazards present. Our personal injury solicitors can guide you on how to proceed in cases such as this if you are worried about taking action against an employer.
Slips, Trips & Falls in Public Places
Slips, trips, and falls in Stockport whilst out in public will mostly occur on pavements, hospitals, shopping centres, car parks, and sports facilities.
It might be that bad weather contributed to your fall, or it could be that the path and pavement was not maintained correctly. Our lawyers** can inform you whether action can be taken against public and private premises.
