Trip/Slip

If you have suffered from a Personal Injury whilst out in a public place there are many ways of claiming for compensation. If you have an accident whilst out in a nightclub, restaurant, or supermarket etc. that company could be liable to pay you compensation.

For example if you were to have an accident whilst out and about because the road or pavement is uneven, you could possibly make a claim against the Local Coucil. If you have a slip or trip whilst on personal property you could possibly claim from the "Occupiers" Home Insurance. If you're in a shop, it is the owner's personal responsibility to keep the shop clean and tidy for the consumers to walk freely without any injury being caused.
