Accidents a Public Place

Accidents in a Public Place

If you have suffered an injury due to a slip or trip at a supermarket, any public place or in the street in the past 3 years which was not your fault you could be entitled to make a claim for compensation. 

It could have been caused by a wet floor, slippery or defective surface, items left unattended, trailing cables and uneven ground on a pavement or public highway. 

You will need to prove that someone else was responsible for your slipping or tripping accident because they did not take appropriate steps to deal with or remove the hazard or defect which caused your accident.

Your claim could include some or all of the following

• Compensation for your injuries

• Loss of earnings

• Travelling expenses

• Prescription charges

• Physiotherapy charges
