Rochdale Slip and Trip Solicitors

Slip, trips and falls can happen to anyone in any number of places. Our Rochdale slip and trip solicitors are here if you find yourself in this situation.

If the accident happened in a public place and was somebody else's fault, you may be able to claim compensation. In the case of a slip, trip or fall in a building which is open to the public, we may be able to claim against the occupier's Public Liability Insurance.

Below are some of the places where this might apply;

 Banks

 Cafes

 Restaurants

 Shops

 Supermarkets

 Swimming Pools 

To pursue a compensation claim you should ensure staff at the premises are aware of the injury, and the incident should be noted in the Accident Book. It is also useful, if possible, to take photographs of the injury, and the place where the incident happened. Names and contact details of witnesses are also invaluable further down the line.

Similar rules apply when it comes to outdoor accidents. If you trip on a public footpath it may be possible to file a claim against the local authority for failing to keep the path in a reasonable and safe state of repair. Again, photographs of what caused the accident are useful.

When it comes to claiming back your expenses, we suggest you keep as many receipts as you can, showing traveling expenses, prescriptions, or rehabilitation costs.

Our Rochdale accident solicitors will be happy to discuss your circumstances in detail if you are unsure whether or not you have a claim.
