It is often that someone trips and falls on a pavement, and sometimes the accident will result in only minor injuries such as small cuts and grazes. On other occasions the injury could be so bad it causes long term damage to muscles, tendons, ligaments or the bone structure.

In order to make a claim for tripping on a pavement, there must be a defect which could, and should have been rectified by the people responsible for the area.

If the pavement has a pothole, it would need to be at least an inch in depth to qualify for a compensation claim for injury to be made.

Should the defect be a paving slab which is raised or lowered by more than an inch, and it causes an accident, a claim for injuries could well be made.

Sometimes there are workmen in an area and they have cables running across the pavement. If this is the case, they should be made safe so the risk of the public tripping is taken away.

There should be safety barriers placed around holes on the ground where work is being carried out by workmen to avoid accident on a pavement.

What ever the cause of the accident and injury, if someone has been negligent then a claim for injury compensation could be made. We handle such claims on a no win no fee basis and ensure our clients receive 100% of the accident compensation awarded.
