Slip, Trip or Fall
What Evidence Do I Need to Help My Claim?
If you slip, trip or fall and hurt yourself then you'll feel pretty bad. If it wasn't your fault, if the fall was caused by someone else's negligence, then you'll feel even worse. That's why it's important that you make a personal injury claim for compensation. Not only will the money you claim help to cover the expenses caused by coping with your injuries, but the idea that you are being compensated for the long term distress and trauma will provide a major psychological boost.
There are many places where you might suffer a slip or fall. Often, such accidents occur in the workplace, and are the result of a badly maintained or cleaned environment. Loose cables, patches of oil, general litter and debris - any or all of these may cause you to trip and fall, and each is an example of your employer failing to maintain their duty of care towards you.
In public places such as shopping malls, bus stations and cinemas the management has a similar duty, and if they fail in that duty, leaving debris or the likes of a wet floor upon which you slip, then you are well within your rights to pursue them for compensation.
In all of these cases a successful no win no fee claim for personal injury will depend upon putting together a case which proves the negligence leading to your fall. Evidence which will help this fall claim includes:
- An immediate report of the incident to the relevant authorities, so the case has been logged.
- Medical attention - quick medical attention is important for both your health and to put the injuries on record.
- Pictures, eyewitness accounts, personal descriptions.
