WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE US? From the moment you contact us you are dealing directly with experienced lawyers, not middlemen or intermediaries

In the UK we have very good standards of safety. Most public or business areas are in a good state of repair, well maintained etc. However in certain cases standards can drop.

People regularly suffer injuries on poorly maintained roads, pavements, car parks or in supermarkets and shops or other places of business.   So how do you know if you actually have a claim? This is a difficult question to answer. All we can tell you is that if you have tripped or slipped on a defect that could and should have been repaired then you really ought to make an enquiry with us about possible compensation.  

Similarly if you slip on a wet, greasy surface and have no warning of the danger then you should be able to make a claim.  


Accidents on ice

Accidents involving slipping or falling on ice are also very common. If you are injured in a fall on an icy pavement or on the roads then it may well be possible to make a claim against the local authority or council for failure to grit and maintain the area.

There is much legal debate at the moment about how far the local council's burden of responsibility should stretch, so a claim is by no means guaranteed to succeed. However, we would still advise you to make your enquiry with us so we can explore the facts of your case. Each claim has to be considered on its own merits.  

If however, an ice related accident occurs on someone else's property ( ie: shop car parks or public access areas) then the owner of the property or legal "occupier" may be held liable. These claims are far simpler to prove and generally tend to be successful.

There is a very clear distinction between occupiers liability and a councils liability in these cases. Our site has more than 200 pages of useful information discussing many different types of compensation and personal injury claims.
