Slip & Trip Accidents in Public Places & Defective Surfaces

Supermarkets, restaurants and all public places have a duty of care to the general public. The local authority also has a duty of care to maintain public footpath and pavements to a safe standard. This is due to health and safety law which protects the general public when entering public places and using walking. Should you have an accident whilst visiting public places, supermarket, shop and even public transport or walkways, you could be entiled to compensation. If the accident was not your fault and was caused by a hazard that could have been prevented, you can claim from the public liabilty insurance policy of the organisation at fault.

Accidents Caused by Defective Paving

Local authority also has a duty of care to maintain public walkways and rented property and due to this have public liability insurance in place. Therefore after an accident victims can recover damages from the insurer. If you have had an accident due to defective paving it would help your claim if you can take photographs of the defective paving (measuring the height of the defect) and then report the accident to the local authority. We can assist you with this, if required.
