Slips trips and fall injury claim FAQs

Before you begin the process of claiming for a slip, trip or fall, here are some things that you might find it useful to know.

What are the main causes of slip, trips and fall injuries?

These compensation claims most commonly occur from slips, trips and falls at work. Some of the more common causes of these injuries include:

  • Uneven floor surfaces
  • Unsuitable floor coverings
  • Slippery or wet floors
  • Loose cables/wiring
  • Poor lighting
  • General mess

They can also occur as pedestrian accidents. This could be claiming for a trip on a loose pavement or a fall in the street. As long as it wasn't your fault, you may have a case.


What are the most common slip, trip & fall injuries?

These injuries can vary depending on the severity of the slip, trip or fall, which could affect the settlement amount. They include:


What is a no win no fee claim and how does it work?

A no win no fee claim means that you won't pay a penny if you lose your case. It's sometimes referred to as a conditional fee agreement and acts as a contract between you and your slip, trip and fall injury attorney.

These agreements were introduced to help people access the justice that they deserve, without risking their finances. Your solicitor will ensure that all costs of your case are covered and you'll only pay if you win.


Am I eligible to claim for a slip, trip and fall personal injury?

If you have been involved in a slip, trip and fall or any other injury in the past three years and it wasn't your fault, you have the right to make a claim. ClaimsPeople have a panel of lawyers who can help, no matter your financial position. Our no win no fee policy makes it easier and safer to get justice.

When you contact us, we'll offer a quick claim assessment. From here, a solicitor will agree to take your case if they think that you have a good chance of winning. You won't have to worry about upfront costs; we've got those covered. If you win, then you'll pay a percentage of your compensation. This will be capped at a pre-agreed level.

You may also be able to claim on behalf of someone else. This could be in the event of a severe slip, trip or fall injury which means that they can't do it themselves.


How do I start claiming for slip, trip & fall injury compensation?

You can start your slip, trip and fall accident claim in several ways:

  • Phone an advisor on 0808 239 4747. You can contact us seven days a week until late and we'll give you a quick claim assessment.
  • Fill out a form. This will contain simple details such as your name, number and details of your slip, trip or fall incident. We'll then give you a call back free of charge.

Use our compensation calculator tool. With this, you'll get an immediate valuation of what your slip, trip and fall claim might be worth. You may even be able to complete your case entirely online.


How does the claims process work?

Once we've agreed to take on your case, the process will follow these four steps:

  • Your slip, trip and fall injury lawyer will listen to your story and how the injuries have impacted you. They may ask for evidence so ensure that you're prepared.
  • Next, your solicitor will get in touch with the person responsible. They will inform them of the case and that a claim is being made.
  • If your slip, trip and fall personal injury claim is accepted by the other party, your settlement should be resolved quickly. If they don't, your solicitor will begin negotiations on your behalf.

If your case is successful, you will receive your slip, trip and fall payout and your solicitor will take their percentage. If unsuccessful, there'll be nothing to pay.
