Making a Compensation Claim Following a Road Slip or Fall

The highway authority (usually the local council) has a primary obligation to maintain all the roads in its area. This duty extends to pedestrians using the road as well as vehicles.

There are certain factors which need to be taken into account when making a road slip, trip or fall compensation claim; these include:

whether or not the condition of the road was acceptable for the amount of use it gets;
whether the state of repair of the road was acceptable to a “reasonable” person;
whether the highways authority could reasonably have been expected to be aware of the poor condition of the road;
whether the highways authority had taken action to resolve the issue within a reasonable amount of time;

If you think you have a claim as a result of a slip, trip or fall on a road in Poulton-le-Fylde, Blackpool, Lancashire or the UK in general, contact the team at Alkers Solicitors today and one of our specialist personal injury solicitors will be happy to advise you regarding the validity of your claim.
