Trips And Falls
Each year thousands of people are injured as a result of a tripping or slipping accident. Ashton Lake Solicitors specialise in recovering compensation for people who have been injured in these circumstances. We act for people who have sustained all types of injuries including soft tissue injuries, broken limbs, spinal cord injury and head injury.
Who do I make a claim against?
When you are on a persons land they are legally responsible for your safety. If they have failed to take reasonable steps to ensure your safety then you will able to bring a claim for compensation. If you are injured whilst on a pavement, path and public road then a claim can be brought against the local Highway Authority. Where you have had an accident in a supermarket, shop or on private or public property then a claim can be brought against the supermarket, the shop or the landowners.
