Slip & trip injury compensation claims - No win no fee service

 

Trip, slip or fall accident claims - what you should do.

It is essential following any accident that you seek medical advice as soon as possible. The following information deals with what steps you should take to protect your legal position once you are fit and able to deal with the relevant issues.  

It is important that urgent steps are taken to gather evidence following an accident of this nature. We say this because the defects, spillages or debris that caused the accident in the first place may very soon be rectified and there will be little or no proof of exactly how dangerous the situation was.

It may be the last thing on your mind if you are seriously hurt but it is vital that you or someone else gathers this evidence for you.

We recommend the following steps:

Obtain the name, address and telephone number of any witnesses who saw you fall.

Take photographs of the scene, the floor surface, your clothing and shoes, mats or rugs, warning signs and of your injuries.

Report the trip or fall formally to the premises manager or duty manager - if you cannot make sure someone else does because the accident needs to be  logged officially to avoid dispute later in the compensation claim.

Basically, as you may have gathered, any evidence you can obtain will be helpful to your accident claim. You cannot possibly have enough of the right type of evidence and hopefully the above will provide some useful guidance for you.
