Slip and trip accident claims on private property

If your accident happened as a result of a slip in a supermarket you may succeed in a claim unless the store can demonstrate a very good system for getting rid of spillages and other dangers.

You should keep a note of witnesses and make sure the accident is recorded in your words as soon as possible in the store accident book.

There are also possible legal claims for slips and trips on other's land under the Occupiers' Liability Act 1957. Again, photographs taken as soon as possible after the accident and a note of witnesses who confirm the danger are invaluable evidence.

This act applies to all injuries on owner-occupier land. We know that some horrific accidents can take place on other's property and have experience in dealing with these claims which, due to the high potential value of the cases and the complex law involved are often taken to the highest courts, namely the House of Lords.
