Most Slips, trips and falls shouldn’t actually happen at all.

Businesses, councils and other organisations responsible for public spaces have a duty to make sure their land and their buildings are safe for visitors.  That means spillages should be cleaned up, obstacles should be removed and regular inspections should carried out to ensure areas are as safe as they can reasonably be.

Sadly this isn’t always the case. And if you have been injured as a result of a slip, trip or fall, personalinjuriesclaim can help you claim compensation.

herniated discs

neck injuries

inflamed tendons

spinal injuries

brain trauma

torn ligaments

concussions

Slip trip and fall injuries caused by negligence are one of the most common types of accidents in Ireland. And claims can be made in many different circumstances including:

• Uneven roads and pavements – usually it is the duty of the Local Council to maintain roads and pavements
• Shops – businesses have the responsibility to ensure that their floors are free from any spillages which could cause a slip or trip.
• Sports centers – have to ensure that customers are safe and free from any spills and hazardous objects.
• Public and private places –are the responsibility of the occupier which means they have a duty to ensure that any visitors are safe.
• Work places – your employer has a duty to ensure they maintain heath and safety standards
