Compensation for Slipping or Tripping on a Pavement
Our firm has particular expertise in claiming compensation for pedestrians injured in the street. We have successfully represented hundreds of clients in these specialist claims.
Under The Highways Act 1980, local councils are responsible for maintaining pavements in a safe condition for pedestrians. Often however, budget constraints and the resulting lack of resources, means that councils are unable to fulfill their maintenance duties, and members of the public trip and injure themselves on broken and damaged pavements as a direct result. The frequency of inspections and repairs by the local council will depend on where the pavement is located, and its level of daily footfall. Records of inspections, maintenance, complaints and recent accidents must be compiled by local councils, and these can be critical in determining whether or not an injured person has a legitimate claim.
