Slip and trip compensation claims no win no fee

It is true to say that seemingly insignificant things can often cause very serious personal injury. Well this is certainly the case when it comes to slip, trip and fall accidents. For example a wet floor with no warning sign, badly lit stairs on a car park and uneven paving could all lead to serious personal injury as broken and fractured bones, head and back injury and leg and arm damage.

Slip, trip and falls represent one of the most common accidents that you can suffer from and there are a number of ways in which they can happen. They can happen almost anywhere. People are regularly suffering injuries thanks to uneven paving, defects in the road, icy pavements and broken steps as well as slippery surfaces within public buildings. The list really could go on. If you have suffered an injury such as these however then you could be entitled to make a claim for compensation.

If your slip, trip or fall accident occurred in a public place then someone is likely to be liable for your injuries. For example if you slipped on a wet floor in a supermarket that had no warning sign, the owner of that store is liable for your injuries as it is their responsibility to warn you to take extra care. Another example is if you tripped over on a section of paving due to it being uneven. It is the responsibility of your local council to maintain the paving so they should repair any problems immediately, failure to do this could leave them open to a liable lawsuit.

If you have been involved in a slip, trip and fall accident such as the above then you are entitled to make a compensation claim within three years of the date of the accident happening. In order to give yourself the best chance of claiming compensation there are several steps that you can take after the accident happened, which includes making a note of the time and date of the accident and what your injuries are. It is also helpful if you can photograph the scene and surroundings of the accident scene as well as gathering the names and contact details of any witnesses.

I know that when a slip, trip or fall happens the last thing that you want to be doing is hanging around the scene. Lets face it most of us are too embarrassed but by doing this you are giving yourself the best chance of making a successful claim for compensation.
