What are slips, trips, and falls claims?

Slips, trips, and falls claims arise when you’re injured due to hazardous conditions caused by someone else’s negligence, such as an employer, property owner, or local council. Common causes include:

  • Wet or slippery floors: Spills or unmarked hazards in workplaces or public spaces.
  • Uneven surfaces: Potholes, cracked pavements, or poorly maintained floors.
  • Cluttered walkways: Obstructions like cables or debris causing trips.
  • Poor lighting: Inadequate visibility leading to missteps.
  • Defective stairs or handrails: Faulty structures causing falls.

Marley Solicitors helps you claim compensation for medical expenses, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and rehabilitation, supporting your recovery and financial stability.

Why act now?

Slips, trips, and falls claims have a three-year time limit from the date of the injury or when you became aware of it, so acting promptly strengthens your case. Delays can complicate evidence collection, such as photos of the hazard or witness statements, reducing your chances of success. Marley Solicitors will guide you through gathering evidence, obtaining medical reports, and negotiating with insurers or pursuing court action to secure the compensation you deserve.
