Slip and Trip Claims FAQ
Get answers to the most common questions about slip and trip accident claims.
What makes a slip and trip claim successful?
A successful claim requires proving that the property owner/occupier was negligent in maintaining safe premises, that this negligence caused your accident, and that you suffered injuries as a result.
Can I claim if I was wearing inappropriate footwear?
Wearing inappropriate footwear doesn’t automatically prevent a claim, but it may reduce your compensation if it contributed to the accident. Each case is assessed on its individual merits.
How long do slip and trip claims take?
The timeline varies depending on complexity. Simple cases with clear liability may settle sooner, while complex cases involving serious injuries may take longer.
What if there were no witnesses to my accident?
While witnesses can strengthen your case, they’re not essential. We can use photographic evidence, CCTV footage, accident reports, maintenance records, photographs, and expert testimony.
Can I claim against a local council?
Yes, you can claim against local councils for accidents on public highways, pavements, and council-maintained properties. However, councils have strict reporting requirements and shorter time limits.
