Slips, trips and falls are remarkably common. They are often only minor, and are sometime the source of amusement. Unfortunately though, all too often they are serious and can result in much pain and humiliation. Long term injuries and health problems as the result of a slip or a trip are not uncommon.

In any successful slip or trip personal injury claim, it is essential the claimant is able to prove blame... that their injury was the direct result of another person's negligence.

If you have been injured in a trip or a fall, on land other that your own, then you could be entitled to claim for compensation. At Legal Request we are experts in this field and we can help you claim back what is legally and morally yours. Read on to find out more...

If I'm involved in a trip or a fall (and have been injured as a result), what measures should I take in the immediate aftermath?

Straight after a trip or a fall, you are likely to feel embarrassed, disorientated and be left in pain. However, there are several things you must remember to do, in order to maximise your chances of a successful claim.

After you've had a trip or a fall, you should:

So I've done all that, do I really need a lawyer?

Of course we are going to say yes, but it's worth listening to our reasons why... it could earn you tens of thousands!

You are not required by law to have qualified legal representation, and often you may think you case is cut and dry. You fell over on a slippery floor in a shop and there was inadequate warning signage. Case closed? Not always...

This area of personal injury law can be highly complex, and there are a large number of loopholes that defense lawyers are highly skilled at exploiting. For example, if you did slip on a wet surface in a shop, the defendant could invoke statutory defence if they can prove they have a regular inspection regime in place. This can easily be done by way of reference to written records. If they can prove that they kept the location of the accident in "reasonable" condition, a claim can often fall down.

However, at Legal Request we are also experts in opposing such loopholes. And that is why we believe you cannot afford to be without our help... and most significantly, we guarantee you will keep 100 per cent of any compensation awarded - so what have you got to lose!
