Slips & Trips .........
Individuals who are critical of the so called "claims culture" often site slips and trips as being inconsequential incidents which do not warrant compensatory awards.
In reality however, people who experience a tripping/slipping accident, generally sustain serious injuries and statistics show that a high percentage of these accidents involve broken bones. Clearly, injuries such as these have an unfavourable effect on the individual's life.
Both public and private organisations are under an obligation to ensure that their premises are safe. Equally, local authorities must maintain a high level of safety on their pavements and public highways.
Time and again these safety standards are not maintained, and legitimate accidents can occur as a result.
We are able to deal with slips and trips on defective pavements; slips on wet floors in shops, schools, hospitals and other public buildings; injuries suffered by children in playgrounds; and injuries to motorists caused by potholes in roads.
