Slips, Trips And Falls

Falling in a public place or at work can be a very distressing and humiliating event often resulting in serious injury with long term effects.

Tripping accidents can happen in:

• The street.
• Shops.
• Work places.
• Restaurants.
• Other public and private locations. 

The law requires public and private business and organisations to make sure that visitors to their premises are safe.

Local Highway Authorities have a responsibility to make sure that the pavements and roads are maintained to a reasonable standard and do not present a hazard to pedestrians and other users.

These types of accidents can include:

• Raising paving stones
• Broken and uneven tarmac
• Uncovered potholes and manholes
• Broken kerb stones
• Uneven surfaces
• Worn and frayed carpets
• Liquid on shop and restaurant floors
• Food spillages
• Unattended wires and cables
