Tripping and Slipping

FREE initial advice offered

Accidents arising from slips and trips are often perceived as trivial, and an example of the “compensation culture.” – Tripping and Slipping Claim Solicitor Castlewellan

In reality, a high proportion of such accidents involve serious injury. Health and safety executives estimate that 95% of major slips result in broken bones.

Examples of tripping and slipping personal injury claims successfully pursued include: (Tripping and Slipping Claim Solicitor Castlewellan)

  • Severe injuries to the elderly, caused by slipping or tripping on defective pavements
  • Injuries to children caused by defective utility grids
  • Injuries caused by slipping on wet floors in supermarkets, hospitals, and schools
  • Injuries suffered by children in playgrounds and sports centres
  • Claims by council tenants for ill health caused by housing disrepair and defective premises
  • Injuries to cyclists, motorcyclists and motorists caused by potholes in roads

Very often the injuries sustained in such accidents have adverse consequences for life.

All public and private organisations owe a duty of care to ensure all visitors to premises are safe. Local Authorities are also under a duty to ensure that pavements and public highways are in a safe condition for public use. Eamon King & Co is instructed in thousands of such cases each year.
