Slips, Trips & Falls Compensation

Our Solicitors have many years of experience in dealing with all kinds of injuries caused by Slips, Trips & Falls.

What You Must Prove to be Awarded Compensation for Slips, Trips & Falls

You must prove it is more likely than not that the person or body responsible for the area where your accident occurred has been negligent and that this has caused your injuries.

Accident in the Street

If you were injured in the street then any claim is likely to lie against the local highway authority(usually the local council).

Accident on Private Property

If you suffer an injury as a result of an accident on someone’s property (e.g. in a privately owned street, a shop, a house, building or any other public place), injury claims may be against the ‘occupier’ of the property.

The ‘occupier’ is usually the person (or body) who has control over the land where your accident occurred.

Under the Occupier’s Liability Act 1957, an occupier must take reasonable care to ensure that visitors to his premises are safe while they are on the premises.

Even if you had no permission to be on the premises, you may still have a claim.

Accident at Work

If you suffer an injury as a result of a fall at work then your claim will usually either be against your employer or the person or body who has control of the location of your fall.

Employers have a duty to take reasonable steps to ensure that workplaces are free of anything that may cause a person to slip, trip or fall.

Photographs

Take photographs of the defect etc which caused your accident as soon as possible. Ensure that the photographs show the size of the defect (e.g. by holding a ruler or tape measure next to the defect).

Witnesses

Put together a list of all those people who saw your accident take place as it will be necessary to take statements from them in the future.

Compensation

You will be able to claim compensation for any pain and suffering caused by your accident. You may also be able to recover other losses you may have incurred such as:

  • the cost of medical treatment or medication
  • damage to clothing
  • loss of earnings
  • travel expenses to and from your GP or Hospital for treatment
  • care and assistance someone has had to give you because of your injuries

Keep a record of any financial losses you have suffered as a result of your accident. Keep any receipts for those losses.

Time Limits

You only have 3 years from the date of any Slips, Trips & Falls to issue Court Proceedings. The Court can waive this 3-year time limit in some circumstances.

Just wanted to say a huge “thank you” Jacqui for everything you’ve done. I was so reluctant at the the beginning, to undertake a claim, fearing a daunting process but your assistance, advice ( & patience!) ensured it wasn’t so and I’ll always be grateful for that.

With very best wishes and sincere thanks,

“..very good contact from day one until case closed. Everything explained along the way, very helpful in all departments…cannot fault the level of service I have had during my time with Thompson & Co.”

Mrs M

“Helen at all times was very understanding and explained very clearly what was going to happen in our case. Very easy to talk to and very patient. I would have no problem in recommending Helen to someone else.  The level of service was excellent. We would like to pass on our thanks to Helen for her support and professionalism.”

I was at ease after our first meeting… We would like to thank Mark and all the team at Thompson & Co for everything they have done for us. The professionalism, dedication to detail was second to none. I would recommend Thompson & Co to anyone. They do a great job. Thanks again Mark for all the help you have given me.

Mr & Mrs P, Durham

“We would like to thank you for everything you have done for us. For your kindness and consideration whilst dealing with the claim. We will never forget your dedication and hard work on our behalf”

Mr & Mrs C

I would like to say a massive thank you for everything you have done for me regarding my claim… I have now received an apology from the hospital and have been reassured that lessons have been learned……I have been one hundred percent happy with the service and professionalism I have received from you. … I felt like I was chatting to a friend..Once again, thank you so much

Mrs N

The whole service I received throughout the process was very professional, informative and very clear every step of the way. The firm was recommended to me by a family member…The service throughout was exceptional.

Mr R

I found you willing to be patient with me at a very traumatic time in my life. You showed great empathy towards me and helped me resolve my claim for which I will be forever grateful.

Mr C

Ease of Process, good communication, helpful and professional service

Anonymous

I can never thank you enough for supporting me and my family in finding out what actually took place and holding out most importantly…..  for the truth and a apology….

Speaking on behalf of my family I can only say ” we are indebted to you for all your help”  and that we welcome any opportunity to promote not only your professionalism,  but the genuine kindness you afforded to us.
