Slips and trips in public places
No matter how careful you are when out and about, accidents can happen and slips and trips are common. However, it may not always be your fault. If you have slipped or tripped because someone failed in their duty to keep you safe, you could be able to claim compensation.
Slips, trips and falls can happen just about anywhere – from a footpath or supermarket car park to a shop, restaurant, or even a private home. Wherever the accident occurred, if the owners of the premises are to blame, you could have a valid claim. By claiming compensation, you could receive the support you need to aid your recovery and help you get back on track. You may reduce the risk of someone else experiencing the same thing too.
At Masons Law our specialist solicitors have a wealth of experience of dealing with slips and trips cases and have successfully helped hundreds of people receive the compensation they deserve following an accident.
Masons Law offers a free initial assessment promise, meaning you can discuss your situation and find out what options you have, before deciding what action to take. Get in touch by calling us on 0208 5324884 and our friendly, knowledgeable solicitors will be able to answer any questions you may have.
Expert legal advice you can rely on:
Injury claims
If you’ve been injured, and that injury was someone else’s fault (whether they meant it or not, and whether they were fully or partly to blame) then the law entitles you to seek a compensation payment to help you with how your injury has affected your life.
Accidents abroad
Holidays are a time for relaxation and enjoyment. Unfortunately accidents still happen - even when we’re on holiday - and each year many people suffer an accident or become ill whilst overseas.
Animals causing injury
We may be a nation of animal lovers but unfortunately animals can be unpredictable and cause thousands of injuries each year. If you’ve been injured by an animal and its owner didn’t take reasonable precautions to protect you, then you may be able to make a claim for compensation.
Child injury claims
It’s common for children to encounter scrapes and minor mishaps. But sometimes children can be involved in more serious accidents and sustain significant injuries. When this happens, parents naturally want to do all they can to help their child and this can include making a personal injury claim on behalf of the child.
Criminal injuries or assault
Being attacked or assaulted is an upsetting and distressing experience that often results in physical or psychological injuries. If you've been the target of an attack, our criminal injury solicitors are here to offer the guidance and support you need. We can help you make a claim for criminal injury compensation as well as providing practical help and legal advice.
