Slips, trips and falls are among the most common types of accidents in the UK, yet they can cause serious and lasting injuries. From slipping on a wet floor in a supermarket, to tripping on uneven paving or falling because of poorly maintained steps. These accidents often happen when you least expect them.

What counts as Slip Trip and Fall accidents?

• Slips – usually caused by hazards such as wet, greasy, or icy surfaces.

• Trips – often linked to obstacles left in walkways, loose carpeting, or uneven ground.

• Falls – including incidents on stairs, steps, or from heights where proper safety measures aren’t in place.

  …in many cases, these accidents occur because someone responsible for the premises failed to take reasonable steps to keep the area safe.

Can you make a personal injury claim?

If you’ve been injured in a slip, trip or fall, you may be entitled to claim compensation. Under UK law, employers, landlords, and businesses all have a duty of care to protect staff, customers, and visitors. Where this duty has been breached, and you’ve suffered injury or financial loss as a result, you have the right to bring a personal injury claim.

Compensation can help cover medical expenses, loss of earnings, and the wider impact the accident has had on your life.
