If you slip on milk or yoghurt in a supermarket the owner of the shop might have a valid Defence if they could show that they had in place and were operating a reasonable system of inspection/cleaning at the time.
At work your employer has a legal obligation to (so far as is reasonably practicable) keep every floor in a workplace and the surface of every traffic route in a workplace free from obstructions and from any article or substance which may cause a person to slip, trip or fall.
Slips, Trips or Falls
Trinity Law Partnership
If you have had an accident because of a slip, trip, or fall we may be able to help you claim compensation at no cost to you.
What do you need to prove?
In order to succeed with such a claim you must first be able to prove that the accident was the fault of someone else. For example if your accident occurred at work, in a shop, on the road or pavement then we have to show that it occurred because of neglect on the part of your employer, the shop owner or the Council.
But how will I know if it’s someone else’ fault?
That may already be obvious to you for instance if you tripped over a raised carpet tile in a shop which hadn’t been secured properly or slipped on oil leaking from a faulty machine at work. However there are a lot of situations where the injured person simply doesn’t know or realise that his/her accident was the fault of someone else
