A fall can occur in many different ways. So how can we ensure when you have suffered injury from a fall that you get not only 100% of your compensation, but also the best amount of compensation?
Slipping and Falling
When you have fallen after slipping on something, you can of course sustain serious injuries. These types of cases are commonly covered by the Occupier’s Liability Act when they occur inside a public place. Under this, owners of premises are required to take reasonable steps to prevent this type of accident occurring. So for example; if you fall on some spilt liquid in a supermarket, the supermarket would have to prove that they have taken reasonable steps to prevent this from happening. This usually comes in the form of an inspection regime that can be proven through a signed sheet of paper confirming when the area has been cleaned last.

However, they should also place signs around the area and secure it until the area is dealt with. These cases can become difficult if the above is shown, however that does not mean that you should not pursue a claim. It is always best to speak with a personal injury solicitor as we can investigate these types of claims and request evidence such as CCTV. As we only deal with personal injury claims we know what type of settlement you should expect to receive and we will make sure to fight for this.
As we are not involved in the terrible system of referral fees, we have all our funds available to run your case and therefore are more than equipped and have the resources for making counter offers to the defendant and giving them a good old argument over how much the claim is worth if we feel any offers are not the best you can get. You won’t just get any old amount!
Tripping
In these cases photographs can be very important to prove that the defect causing you to fall was a foreseeable risk of injury and also to have evidence that it once existed if it has since been repaired. As above, if a maintenance regime can be proven by a Defendant, such as a supermarket owner or the council if the trip occurred in public land, the case can become difficult; however that does not mean we will not fight for you if we believe there was clear negligence which resulted in your injury.
