Suffering a fall outside can be a nasty experience, on most occasions we get lucky and escape with a grazed knee and a slight feeling of embarrassment. However, there are times when loosing your footing can lead to severe injury such as a broken bone or extremely bad head wound. It is even worse news when you realise that your severe injury and fall was due to the negligence of others.
Poor Pavement Conditions
What makes for pavements to become hazardous to walk along? Broken kerbs, poor quality pavement surfaces, uneven pavement slabs, fire access points not correctly locked down or even broken. The Council or local authority has a duty to make sure that pedestrian pavements and walkways are safe and free from hazards that can cause serious accidents.
