This type of injury can occur almost anywhere and in a wide variety of circumstances including at work, on pavements and in other public and private places. Some of the more common causes include:

An individual has a duty to take reasonable care when walking however owners and occupiers of property have a duty of care to ensure that their premises are free of obstruction, clean and safe to use in a normal manner by those who are invited onto the premises. If the owner or occupier has breached their duty of care to the public and you have been injured as a result then you will be able to make a slip trip fall accident claim.

The amount of personal injury compensation that you will be entitled to will depend on the extent of your injuries and disabilities and the degree of responsibility or blame that can be attributed to the potential defendant.

• If the accident was ENTIRELY the fault of another person, you will be awarded the full amount of compensation for your injuries.
• If the accident was PARTIALLY your fault, you may still be entitled to some compensation (a reduced amount) for your injuries.
• If the accident was ENTIRELY your own fault, you will not have a claim for compensation for personal injury.
