Here at the Accident Advice Bureau, we have recently accepted a case which involved a lady who suffered an accident on a speed bump within the car park of a pub.

The lady had been to a party at the pub when she left the around 10.30pm to made her way home. She had only drunk a very small amount and was wearing flat shoes. As she left the pubs exit and was walking across the car park she tripped on an unmarked speed bump, which she did not see as it was very dark. The trip accident caused her to fall heavily on her face and front.

A couple who were walking by helped her up, feeling very embarrassed, she continued to make her way home.

The next day she was in severe pain and so she visited her doctor. She was diagnosed with three cracked ribs and a severely bruised face.

The ladies partner went to tell the landlord of the accident the next day who just laughed at him, so a few days later the lady went into the pub herself. The manager said there was no accident book available and that he is intending to paint the speed bump as it has clearly worn away across the section where the trip accident happened.

The worn away paint makes the speed bump very difficult to see at night.

The lady contacted us here at the Accident Advice Bureau and asked for are help in making an accident on an unmarked speed bump injury claim.

We are often gathering evidence where there is uneven, unlevel ground, missing drain covers and potholes. These defects often cause a slip, trip or fall accident resulting in an injury, sometimes a very severe injury. This does not always mean a claim for injury compensation can be made though, as it depends on the defect, of which all are assessed individually.

Roads, pavements and car parks are places where many slip, trip and fall accidents happen. It is often the local authority who are responsible for keeping such areas up together. With accidents in car parks, the area could be the responsibility of a supermarket such as Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsburys or another private company who owns the car park.

Any accident suffered should be reported to the people responsible, and photographic evidence should be obtained to show the defect. Ideally the photos should be taken to show the width, length and depth using a tape measure.

The injury suffered in the accident would need to have been diagnosed by a doctor in order to make a claim with us.

All injury compensation claims we handle are done so on a no win no fee basis by a specialist personal injury solicitor.

To make a claim please contact us by calling 0845 10 88 333 or by clicking: Slip Trip on Uneven, Unlevel Ground, Missing Drain Cover & Pothole Claim.

A slip accident on dark stairs due to a broken light can cause severe injuries which may be claimed for if the light has been faulty for some time and has not been repaired by the people responsible. For example, it may be the local council, a landlord, housing association or a shop keeper who should rectify the fault.

We handle many claims for slipping on wet and dark stairs which often result in soft tissue damage including sprains and whiplash injuries, broken bones and cuts.

Any slip on stairs accident causing an injury, should be reported to the people responsible, so it can be logged in an accident book. It is also advisable to obtain photographic evidence of the faulty or broken light or wet stairs if possible, as well as any witnesses to the accident and defect. The injuries suffered must be sufficient to require medical attention from a doctor in order to make a claim with us.

Claims for being injured in a fall on stairs are handled on a no win no fee basis where the maximum injury compensation will be awarded upon winning.

All claims are handled by specialist personal injury solicitors, who work hard to win all claims we take on.

Louis Walsh the manager of pop duo Jedward has said he is concerned for Edward Grimes after he suffered a fall during a dance routine when performing at the T4 On The Beach in Weston-Super-Mare in Somerset yesterday.

Jedward were performing Ghostbusters when the fall accident on stage happened. The pair were dancing on the stage performing a difficult move at the time.

It is believed that it was a broken leg injury  or twisted knee ligaments which 18 year old Edward suffered.

The accident happened in front of around 70,000 people and was live on television.

Following the fall accident, Edward got up holding his leg and tried to continue with the routine. He managed to continue by hopping around the stage and by carrying on whilst on his knees. He was clearly in a lot of pain. He managed to give his twin John a high five at the end.

An ambulance was called and took Edward to hospital following the routine.

Fans of the duo were leaving wet well messages on Twitter.

Following a 12 hour drinking session, a teacher Gemma Garn, 26, died after a fall from a height accident of approximately 100 feet into the icy river below. She had bee celebrating a promotion an inquest heard yesterday.

The teacher had drunk wine, cider and taken amphetamines, she then decided to drive to the Severn Bridge then got out and accidentally stumbled causing her to fall into the water.

At the inquest, they heard that Miss Garn may have stopped as she felt ill and wanted to get some air. It is not thought that Miss Garn tried to take her own life.

Miss Garn fron Cwmbran South Wales, was out with friends before the tragic accident happened. They had been drinking in Cwmbran and Newport on 18th December last year. It was in the early hours of the next day that she got in her car and decided to drive 15 miles along the M4 to the Severn Bridge.

The car Miss Garn had been driving was found abandoned in the morning, sparking a huge search operation.

It was in Penarth near Cardiff, 20 miles downstream, that her body was found by a fisherman.

An open verdict was announced and Coroner David Bowen said “Gemma had been ingesting amphetamine which had the side effect of allowing binge drinking and also the likelihood of irrational behaviour.”

It took six weeks to find her body despite divers scouring the River Severn.

Claiming injury compensation for a slip, trip or fall accident is straight forward with the Accident Advice Bureau if the accident is due to the negligence of a third party.

Cinemas, theatres, shops, supermarkets or in fact any area which invites people onto its premises should be regularly maintained and should ensure any potential hazards are dealt with before an accident happens.

Many trip accidents are due to stock being left on the floor in an area which should be kept clear for public safety. Trailing leads from cleaners or electricians working in an area create a potential hazard and are the cause of many slip, trip accidents and injuries.

Wet floors are one of the biggest cause for a slip accident. If the people responsible for making the floor wet have not highlighted the area with clear warning signs, then a claim for injury compensation may be possible following an accident and injury due to the slippery surface.

If you have been injured in a trip or slip accident and you believe the accident could have been prevented if the third party had carried out maintenance, or put up warning signs, then a claim for injury compensation may be possible on a no win no fee basis with our help.

To claim maximum 100% injury compensation please call us on 0845 10 88 333 or claim online by clicking: Injury Compensation for an Accident.
