It's a legal process that allows you to claim compensation if you were injured after slipping, tripping, or falling due to unsafe conditions in a public place, shop, or workplace.
Yes. You may still be able to claim compensation, though the final amount might be reduced based on shared responsibility.
Yes, but we'll help gather the evidence, including photos, witness statements, and reports, to support your case.
Common injuries include broken bones, sprains, back or neck pain, head trauma, or any lasting mobility issues caused by a fall.
It depends on the severity of your injury, how it's affected your life, and any financial loss. We'll give you a clearer estimate once we know your situation.
In Northern Ireland, the general time limit is three years from the date of the accident. In some cases, exceptions may apply.
You should report the accident as soon as possible. Even if it wasn't logged at the time, you may still be able to claim using other evidence, such as photos, witnesses and medical records.
Yes. Seeing your GP or a specialist after the accident still counts as medical evidence. We'll advise you on what's needed to support your claim.
Yes. If the staff failed to clean up or warn customers about a hazard that caused your fall, you may be entitled to claim compensation.
If the surface was damaged or poorly maintained, you may be able to claim against DfI Roads, which is responsible for public footpaths in Northern Ireland.
Yes. Businesses have a duty to keep their premises safe. If clutter or poor maintenance caused your injury, we can help you make a claim.
There are no upfront fees. If your claim succeeds, the other side pays your legal costs. If it doesn't, our legal insurance covers the costs.
If your claim succeeds, the other side pays your legal costs and you keep 100% of your compensation.
Every claim is different. On average, claims are resolved within 4 to 6 months, but claims with serious injuries or disputed fault can take longer.
Yes. If you slipped or fell due to unsafe conditions at work, you may have a valid claim. Your employer has a duty to provide a safe environment.
Yes. Property owners or staff must warn visitors of slippery surfaces. If they didn't, and you were hurt, you could be entitled to compensation.
That might affect your claim, but it doesn't necessarily stop you from claiming. We'll look at all the facts to see where responsibility lies.
You may be able to claim for pain, medical treatment, lost wages, travel costs, and any long-term impact on your health or mobility.
You're protected by law from being treated unfairly for making a claim. Businesses and employers are legally required to have insurance for these situations.
