Information for slip, trip and fall accident claims

From time to time most of us have slipped or tripped whilst we are out, at the shops, in work or on the pavement, sometimes these accidents are caused by simply not looking where you are going. But if you have been injured in a slip or trip as a result of someone else's negligence or because the surface you were walking on was unsafe, then you could have a claim for slip, trip or fall compensation, if so, Camps Solicitors are able to help.

Accident compensation cases involving pavements and walkways are some of the most difficult and complex personal injury compensation cases to deal with. Finding out who is responsible for the maintenance of a path or roadway is not always as easy as it first appears, and there is always a possibility that the surface has been damaged by another party.

At Camps Solicitors we have extensive knowledge of this area of personal injury law, and the experience to deal with even the most complex trip and slip compensation claim cases, ensuring our clients receive the best possible compensation for their particular accident.

Slip and trip accident compensation - your questions answered

There were no witnesses to my accident - can I still make a claim?

Having an independent witness to any accident can help your claim but it is by no means essential. The courts will usually believe the victims of accidents unless there is anything that leads them to suspect that the slip and trip compensation claim is not genuine.

The edge that I tripped over was not very deep - does that matter?

The general starting point for tripping accidents outdoors is that the difference in height between the two pavement surfaces has to be at least 1 inch; if it is less than 1 inch then there is a chance that there will be no claim for compensation. A good way to test the height difference is to place a 50 pence piece next to the pavement edge, if the difference in height between the two surfaces is greater than the height of the 50 pence piece you probably have the grounds to make a claim.

If I have had previous accidents do I have to tell you about them?

It is essential that you tell us if you have been involved in a similar accident before. Often it will not make any difference to your claim, but concealing previous accidents can damage your credibility as a witness and may make the court less inclined to believe your statement.
