Slips and trips

Slips & Trips

The personal injury team of solicitors at Pryers is very experienced in accidents caused by slipping and tripping and we deal with hundreds of cases each year recovering thousands of pounds in compensation.

Common causes of slip, trip and fall accidents are defects on the ground whether it be a broken paving slab, uneven ground or something protruding from the pavement, and usually this will be the responsibility of the local Council.

Tripping accidents also occur at work. Your employer or fellow employee may be responsible for your fall caused by their lack of care. This may have involved you slipping on a substance which should not have been there, falling over something in a common walkway or tripping on an uneven surface at your place of work.

If this has happened to you, you may have a claim and we can help you to recover compensation.

You can recover damages for your injury, pain and suffering together with any other losses, such as prescription charges, medical treatment, loss of earnings and any other expense incurred as a result of the accident and your injury. Typically, you may have been off work as a result of your injury or been unable to go on the holiday that you had planned. You may have had to pay for prescription charges or painkilling medication out of your own pocket. We will recover all losses for you.

These cases are dealt with on a 'no win no fee basis', which means they are free to you. On the successful conclusion of your case, we will recover our costs from the party responsible, and so you have nothing to worry about with regard to legal costs.
