Claims For Slips, Trips & Falls in Public Places

If you have suffered an injury as a result of trips, slips and falls in public places, contact the experienced ‘no win, no fee’ compensation solicitors at Darbys. We regularly handle compensation claims in Poulton-Le-Fylde, Blackpool, Lancashire and the UK in general.

Most personal injury claims tend to be for accidents which happened in a public place such as parks, shops, shopping centres, restaurants, schools, cinemas, bars, even the communal areas of residential buildings. This is an almost endless list, but one in which the key principles are the same.

Contact Alkers’ public injury solicitors to find out if you can make a compensation claim; call freephone 0800 00 55 44 or complete the enquiry form.

Making a Compensation Claim

Wherever your accident has occurred, if someone else is at fault then you could have a valid claim for compensation.

Claims of this nature come under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957. The Act states that the occupier or owner of the public place in which the slip, trip or fall occurs, has a duty of care to visitors, and therefore must ensure that they remain reasonably safe whilst using the premises (or land) for the purpose for which they are allowed to be there. This is not an absolute duty and no-one is liable for a pure accident or another person’s misadventure.

The same can be true even if you were not a lawful visitor. If you were trespassing on another person’s land and suffered an accident, you may still be able to claim for compensation. Under the Occupier’s Liability Act 1984, all occupiers or owners have a duty of care to all persons including unauthorised visitors. There are other criteria which must be met in order to pursue a valid claim in these circumstances, but one of the specialist public injury solicitors here at Alkers would be happy to advise you about this.

Success Stories

“Alkers Solicitors looked after my claim following an accident in my car. Their service was excellent, I was kept updated with the status of my claim every step of the way. They took care of everything for me, arranging for my car to be fixed and for me to see a specialist doctor about my neck injury. I was six months pregnant at the time so it was great not having to worry about anything. You really feel that they actually care about your case and that you are not just on a conveyor belt of claims. The compensation came through really quickly and I also received money for the damage to my vehicle….I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Alkers to anyone who finds themselves needing to make a claim following and accident.”
