Slip and Trip Injuries We Assist With

We assist clients injured in a wide range of slip and trip incidents, including:

Slips on wet or slippery floors, including spills, recently cleaned surfaces or weather-related hazards

Trips caused by uneven surfaces, loose flooring, cables or obstacles

Falls due to poor lighting, missing handrails or inadequate safety features

Injuries where warning signs were missing or inadequate, despite known hazards

If a hazard should reasonably have been addressed or clearly warned about, a claim may be available.

Where Slip and Trip Injuries Commonly Occur

Slip and trip injuries often occur in everyday environments, such as:

Shopping centres, supermarkets and retail stores

Footpaths, car parks and public walkways

Rental properties and common areas of buildings

Commercial premises, venues and shared facilities

The fact that an injury occurred in a familiar place does not mean it was unavoidable.

When a Slip or Trip May Give Rise to a Claim

A slip or trip may give rise to a public liability claim where the person or organisation responsible for the premises failed to take reasonable steps to keep the area safe.

This may include failing to repair hazards, clean spills promptly, provide warnings, or maintain safe walking surfaces. The key issue is whether the risk of injury was reasonably foreseeable and preventable.

Each case depends on its specific circumstances and requires careful assessment.
