Public liability & occupier's liability
Injured in a slip, trip or fall?
Occupiers of premises — including councils, businesses, and private landowners — have a legal duty to keep visitors reasonably safe. When they fail and you are injured, compensation claims can be pursued.
Slip, trip, and fall accidents can happen anywhere — in supermarkets, on public pavements, in workplaces, restaurants, car parks, and private properties. Under the Occupiers' Liability Act, those who control premises must take reasonable steps to ensure visitors are safe. This includes maintaining flooring, clearing spillages promptly, providing adequate lighting, and displaying warning signs where hazards exist. When these obligations are neglected and you suffer an injury, the occupier can be held liable.
Evidence is crucial in slip, trip, and fall claims — photographs of the hazard, witness details, accident reports, and CCTV footage can all strengthen your case significantly. You generally have three years from the date of the accident to bring a claim. We handle all slip, trip, and fall cases on a no win, no fee basis, and our free initial consultation will help you understand your options without any obligation or cost.

Slip, Trip & Fall Claim FAQs
How do I prove the property owner was negligent?
We must show the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to fix it or warn visitors. Evidence like maintenance records, inspection logs, and witness statements are crucial.
What if I didn't report the accident at the time?
While reporting helps strengthen your claim, you can still pursue compensation. We'll help gather other evidence like CCTV, witness statements, and medical records.
Can I claim if the accident was on a public pavement?
Yes. Local councils are responsible for maintaining pavements. If poor maintenance caused your accident, you can claim against the council.
What if I was partly distracted when I fell?
You may still have a claim. If a hazard existed that shouldn't have been there, you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault (contributory negligence).
How much compensation will I receive?
This depends on your injury severity, financial losses, and how the accident has affected your life. Minor injuries might result in £1,000-£5,000, while serious fractures or head injuries can exceed £100,000.
