Were you injured in a slip, trip or fall in the last three years? Do you believe this accident was preventable?
If you answered yes to these questions, then you might be able to claim compensation for your injuries. At The Brief Claims we understand that an accident in a public place or on private premises can be both painful and embarrassing.
The most serious cases can result in fractures, back injuries, head injuries or even paralysis. Our experienced personal injury solicitors can help you claim compensation if you’ve had an accident that wasn’t your fault.
We offer free initial advice and work on a no-win, no-fee basis so if you’ve been injured and would like no-obligation advice then get in touch with one of our friendly advisors today.
Slip, trip or fall claims occur when hazards in public places or on privately owned premises result in an accident. Local authorities, landowners or occupiers of privately owned properties or businesses are obliged to take reasonable steps to ensure visitor safety. If the owner or occupier fails to address possible hazards adequately, then visitors are put at risk, leading to a possible personal injury claim. You have a right to be compensated for any injury incurred from a slip, trip or fall, provided the accident was due to the negligent action or inaction of another party.
Personal injury claims are made against the person or organisation who is legally responsible for the accident that caused the injuries. Establishing who might be accountable is not always obvious but your solicitor can advise you on this based on where your accident occurred and how it happened. The Brief Claims has made successful claims against employers, retailers, and local authorities to name a few. In many instances, the responsible party is insured for injuries caused on their land or premises and we liaise directly with the insurance company who provides their cover.

There are a range of different injuries that a slip, trip and fall solicitor could help you claim for, with the compensation being based on the extent of the injury or damages sustained as well as any financial losses. Some of the most frequent slip, trip and fall injuries include:
The amount of slip and trip compensation you will receive will depend on the type and extent of the injuries you sustained during the incident. Our experienced slip, trip and fall solicitors can value your claim based on your individual circumstances.
You can claim for any injuries you’ve sustained because of a slip, trip or fall. The extent of your injuries, recovery time and the impact these injuries have had on your subsequent quality of life will all be taken into consideration when determining the compensation awarded.
Medical expenses and damages may be awarded to cover the cost of any reasonable and necessary medical treatment required because of the slip, trip or fall that you have suffered. Examples include physiotherapy, medical aids, and travel costs to and from medical appointments.
Loss of earnings may be awarded where time away from work is taken because of your injury. You may also be eligible to claim for loss of future earnings where your claim has settled but you have not fully recovered and have not yet been able to return to work.
Loss of enjoyment opportunities, due to injuries like being unable to take part in your regular workouts in the gym, or any restriction from routine family activities like holidays or performing ordinary household chores or caring for your children, also deserve appropriate compensation.
Making a successful slip, trip and fall claim is a complex process that requires you to use a qualified and experienced personal injury solicitor. At The Brief Claims we have a dedicated team of personal injury solicitors who will work tirelessly to get the best possible result for you.
