Slip, Trip & Fall Injury Solicitors


Sustaining an injury from a slip, trip or fall, depending on the severity of that injury, can have a significant impact on your daily life. Even if you’ve suffered only relatively minor injuries, such as cuts and bruises, these can still cause you several weeks or months of pain and discomfort, affecting your ability to do your job, as well as a number of other important everyday tasks. In extreme cases, an injury sustained from a slip, trip or fall can result in permanent damage.

If you’ve been injured in a slipping or tripping accident that’s not your fault, for example, tripping on uneven pavement, slipping on a spill that hasn’t been cleaned up, or falling down stairs because of defective handrails or uneven surfaces, you may be eligible for compensation. This could be, for example, via a claim against the local council or local authority, a supermarket or shopping centre, or even your landlord, albeit typically through their insurers.

A compensation claim can cover all aspects of your injury and loss, including a substantial sum to represent your pain, suffering and loss of amenity, together with any loss of earnings, the value of any care and assistance, even if provided for free by either a friend or relative, and any out of pocket expenses, such as medication or travel for medical appointments.

What We Do For Our Clients

At Farnworth Rose Solicitors we have extensive experience in pursuing compensation on behalf of our clients for injuries arising out of slipping and tripping accidents. These commonly include claims for broken bones, sprained ankles or wrists, knee damage, shoulder dislocations or muscle strains, spine and nerve damage, and even traumatic brain injury.

If liability is disputed, our specialist lawyers will risk assess a client’s claim, working hard to settle this issue without any need to go to court. However, where court proceedings prove necessary, they will drive a client’s case with the strategy and skill required for a successful outcome. We also carefully consider every element of a client’s claim, and how this has impacted them, helping to ensure that they receive the maximum amount of compensation.

How We Can Help You

If, during the last three years, you’ve sustained an injury in a slip, trip or fall that wasn’t your fault, we can help you to obtain compensation for your injury and any losses arising out of that accident. Equally, if you’re a property owner, such as a landlord, looking to defend a claim made against you, we have the skills and expertise to help you robustly defend such a claim.

At Farnworth Rose, we have helped to secure hundreds of settlements and court awards of compensation for innocent people who have suffered injury at the hands of someone else’s negligence. We have also helped to exonerate those wrongly accused of such negligence.
