No matter how careful you are when out and about, accidents can happen and slip and trip are common. However, it may not always be your fault. If you have slipped or tripped because someone failed in their duty to keep you safe, you could be able to claim compensation.
Slip, tris and falls can happen just about anywhere – from a footpath or supermarket car park to a shop, restaurant, or even a private home. Wherever the accident occurred, if the owners of the premises are to blame, you could have a valid claim. By claiming compensation, you could receive the support you need to aid your recovery and help you get back on track. You may reduce the risk of someone else experiencing the same thing too.
