If you have slipped, tripped or fallen as the result of someone else’s negligence, then you may have the right to claim compensation for your injuries. At Alkers, our no win, no fee compensation solicitors specialise in helping individuals injured in road slips and falls secure the financial compensation they deserve.
Making a Claim Following a 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, as well as vehicles.
There are certain factors which need to be taken into account when making a road slip, trip or fall 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;
