What Is a Pavement / Public Pathway Fall Claim?

A pavement or public pathway fall claim is a type of personal injury claim made when unsafe conditions on a public walkway cause an accident. This could involve uneven or broken paving slabs, potholes, loose kerbs, or poor maintenance by the local council or property owner.

If you were injured because those responsible failed to keep walkways safe, you may be owed compensation for medical costs, lost income, and the pain caused by the accident.

Common Causes of Pavement / Public Pathway Falls

  • Uneven or raised paving slabs
  • Broken kerbs or loose stones
  • Potholes in walkways or footpaths
  • Slippery surfaces due to moss, ice, or water
  • Poorly lit streets making hazards hard to spot
  • Obstructions left on pavements (bins, cables, or debris)

Even if you didn’t report the injury right away, we can still help. Contact us for advice today.
