Common causes include wet floors, uneven surfaces, inadequate lighting, unsafe walkways, or hazards that were not properly managed – and can result in serious injuries.
There is a duty of care on the part of owner or occupiers to keep their premises in a safe condition. If they fail to do so and you injure yourself as a result of this failure then you may have a claim against them or their insurers.
Accidents can also happen on footpaths, highways, roads and pavements. Responsibility for the upkeep of highways lies with the local authority or the owner of the land upon which they are situated. There is a duty of care to maintain such areas so they are free of dangerous defects. You may be able to claim if you injure yourself as a result of a fall caused by a surface which is uneven, pitted or in a poor state of repair.
At work, your employer has a statutory duty to ensure that you are safe from slips, trips or falls caused by slippery floor surfaces, obstructions, defective floor surfaces and other such causes. If you slip or are injured at work as a result of a trip or fall then you may be entitled to compensation from your employer or their insurers.

No Win, No Fee Slips & Falls Claims Explained
We handle many personal injury claims on a No Win No Fee basis, also known as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA).
This means you pay nothing if your claim is unsuccessful. If your claim succeeds, your opponent will usually cover most of your legal costs, and a success fee will be deducted from your compensation.
We share the risk with you, meaning you only pay if your claim is successful. We will explain all funding options, your chances of success and how to maximise your compensation before you decide whether to proceed.
To discuss your options, arrange a free and confidential consultation with our solicitors by calling 0191 5666500. There is no obligation to make a claim, and our initial advice is free.
