Who can make slip, trip and fall claims in Northern Ireland?

Thousands of people are injured in slips, trips and falls in Northern Ireland every year. More than 10,000 people in Northern Ireland are injured in slips or trips at their workplace each year. Slips and trips are responsible for one-third of all major injuries at work.

Many more people are injured in slips, trips and falls away from their workplace, on private property or publicly-owned sites.

When a slip, trip or fall is the result of negligence — because somebody failed in their duty of care to you — you’re entitled to claim compensation for your accident.

Common causes of slip, trip and fall claims

No matter how you sustained your slip, trip or fall injury, we’re here to support you. We’ve helped people injured in a variety of different circumstances to claim slip, trip and fall compensation.

Some of the most common reasons for slip, trip and fall claims are:

Trips and falls on pavements

Something as simple as a fall on a footpath can result in serious injuries. If you were injured due to a trip and fall on a pavement that was in a dangerous condition, you could be entitled to claim compensation.

Slips, trips and falls in public places

Supermarkets, shops, restaurants, bars, hotels, cinemas, schools and arenas all have a duty to keep their properties safe from slip, trip and fall hazards. If you were injured because a property or business owner failed to do so, you’re eligible to make a claim.

Slips, trips and falls at work

Slips, trips and falls are the main cause of major workplace accident injuries. When you’re injured because your employer failed in their duty of care to you, this is grounds for a personal injury claim.

Slips and falls on wet floors

Leaks, spillages and cleaning often result in a slip and fall on wet floors. If you slipped and suffered an injury due to a wet floor, you could claim compensation if the organisation responsible failed to protect you or warn you about the danger.

Trips and falls due to uneven floors

Cracked, chipped or loose flooring that has not been adequately repaired or made safe is a significant trip hazard. If you sustained an injury after tripping on an uneven floor, you may be owed compensation.

Trips and falls due to hazards and debris

Cables, clutter and other debris on the floor create a risk of tripping. When an organisation has failed to clear or warn you about trip hazards, you are entitled to claim compensation for any injuries you’ve suffered.

Slips, trips and falls can happen in many different situations. Get in touch to find out whether you’re eligible to make a claim.
