A sudden fall can change your life in seconds — especially when someone else failed to keep the space safe. If that’s happened to you, we may be able to help you claim compensation.
Start Your Claim
If you’ve suffered an injury after slipping, tripping, or falling because of unsafe conditions, you may be entitled to compensation. These accidents can happen anywhere — on the pavement, in a supermarket, in a public building, or even in a private car park. What matters is that the injury wasn’t your fault and could have been prevented with proper care.
A slip, trip, and fall claim allows you to hold those responsible accountable and recover the financial support you need. Compensation can help cover lost income, pain and suffering, and other costs linked to your injury. It’s about helping you get back on your feet — physically, emotionally, and financially.
To make a claim, there are time limits to be aware of. In most cases, you’ll need to begin your claim within three years of the accident. If the injured person was under 18 at the time, they have until their 21st birthday to act. Starting your claim as soon as possible gives you the best chance of success and helps protect important evidence.
Slips, trips, and falls often result from avoidable hazards. Some of the most common causes include:
Slipping on wet floors with no warning signs is a frequent cause of injury, particularly in supermarkets and shops.
Broken steps, loose tiles, or potholes on public pathways or private premises can cause serious injuries like fractures or sprains.
Dim or broken lights in stairwells or corridors can hide hazards, leading to dangerous falls—sometimes with life-changing consequences.
Objects like trailing cables, loose rugs, or items left in walkways can lead to unexpected trips and injuries.
If any of these risks caused your injury, you may have a valid claim.
Making a claim isn't just about financial compensation. It's about getting your life back on track. Here’s how a successful claim can support you:
If your injury prevents you from working, a claim can assist in compensating for lost wages or future lost earnings, offering financial relief during your recovery.
Compensation can cover vital medical costs, including specialist treatment, long-term rehabilitation programs, and ongoing care required for recovery.
A slip, trip, and fall claim can provide compensation for both physical pain and emotional distress caused by the hazardous conditions.
A successful claim can secure funding for essential rehabilitation services such as physiotherapy, counselling, and other therapeutic interventions.
If a workplace accident has caused injury and damaged property, a claim can help cover the costs of repair or replacement.

If your injury happened because someone failed to make a space safe, such as a wet floor without a warning sign or a broken pavement, you may have a claim. We can assess your case for free during our initial consultation and let you know where you stand.
Responsibility often lies with whoever manages the space. That could be a local council, a business, or a private landlord. We will determine this with you during your initial call. If they didn’t take reasonable steps to prevent hazards, you may be entitled to compensation.
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident to begin your claim. If the injured person was under 18, the time limit usually extends to their 21st birthday. Acting quickly helps protect evidence and gives you the best chance of success.
Photos of the scene, medical records, witness contact details, and incident reports can all support your claim. If you don’t have everything, don’t worry — we’ll help you gather what you need.
That depends on how serious your injury is and the impact it’s had on your life. You may be able to claim for lost earnings, medical costs, pain and suffering, and long-term recovery needs. We’ll give you a clear estimate once we’ve reviewed your case.
Most slip, trip, and fall claims are settled before reaching court. If your case does go to court, we’ll handle everything and make sure you’re fully supported every step of the way.
