SLIPS, TRIPS & FALLS
Slips, trips and falls however caused can result in serious injury and can have a major impact on the individual’s life.
Aamer Anwar in Association with Bonnar Accident Law can help you claim compensation.
A fall may be caused by something seemingly as ‘minor’ as a cracked paving slab, or a spillage in a supermarket aisle, but the resulting injury can have a drastic impact on the person’s ability to work and enjoy their lifestyle.
Many claims for slips, trips and falls are drastically undervalued by inexperienced accident lawyers who fail to ensure that the injured person is properly examined by a leading medical specialist and that their claim is correctly quantified based on their treatment needs, rehabilitation therapies and ongoing wages loss. This is why you should only discuss your claim with expert injury lawyers.

SHOULD I CLAIM FOR A TRIP, SLIP OR FALL?
You are entitled to make a claim for compensation if your accident was caused by someone’s negligence. Please do not be put off by tabloid press stories about so called ‘spurious claims’ that would seek to minimise the extent of your injuries and their impact on your life.
If you cannot work and your life has been changed as a result of a trip, slip or fall then the decision to make a claim is important for you and your family. The key issue here is not a so-called ‘simple’ fall; it is the consequences of the fall and the impact on your future.
So, whatever the cause of your slip, trip or fall please contact us to tell us what happened and we will tell you if we think you have a case. Let us help you to decide how to proceed.
FALLS ON ICE
Local Authorities treat roads, streets and pavements according to an agreed schedule which prioritises what they should tackle first. We will always look at these cases but it can be difficult to prove negligence.
DANGEROUS PAVEMENTS
Councils are allowed to follow a schedule of planned repairs and they have a system of visual inspection that is supposed to include every area within their boundary. If you have tripped or fallen on a faulty pavement or road you should take photographs and obtain the names and contact details of any witnesses. If you tell the council first there is every chance that they will repair the hazard, thus making our job of claiming compensation on your behalf that bit more difficult.
