If I slip and suffer an injury, can I claim compensation?
If you slip due to someone else’s negligence, you can almost certainly claim. Land owners are legally responsible for your safety while you are on their property, and are expected to take reasonable steps to ensure your safety.
If you slip and injure yourself because you stumbled over a broken or loose surface, those responsible for maintaining the area concerned may well be liable on the grounds of negligence. This would be the land or building owner, local authority etc., depending on whether it is on public or private property.
I had a slip in the supermarket. Can I claim?
Ensuring visitors’ safety extends beyond structural maintenance of the floor or pavement. If you slip on a wet floor in a café, or slip on fruit dropped on the floor of a supermarket, you may well have a claim.
How much can I claim for a slip?
Compensation is determined by the injuries you suffer, not by the cause of the accident. Thus, someone who slipped and sustained a back injury would gain the same compensation as if they suffered an identical injury in a road accident, all other factors being equal.
