Road Slips
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.
If you have slipped, tripped or fallen in the road as the result of someone else being at fault then you may have a valid claim for compensation for your injuries.
There are certain factors which need to be taken into account when making a road slip, trip or fall compensation claim and these include:
If the condition of the road was acceptable for the amount of use it gets;
The state of repair of the road was acceptable to a “reasonable” person;
If the highways authority could have expected to have known about the condition of the road;
If the highways authority had taken action within a reasonable amount of time.
