Can I claim if I slipped in a restaurant?
Possibly. A claim may be available if the restaurant or occupier failed to take reasonable steps to identify, clean, isolate or warn of the hazard.
What evidence should I obtain?
Photographs, incident reports, witness details, receipts, CCTV requests, medical records and records of expenses can assist.
Can I still claim if no warning signs were displayed?
The absence of warning signs may be relevant, but the overall question is whether reasonable precautions were taken in the circumstances.
What compensation may be available?
Compensation may include medical treatment, lost income, care, travel expenses, future treatment and pain and suffering where available.
How long do I have to bring a claim?
Strict limitation periods apply. You should seek legal advice promptly so evidence can be preserved and deadlines considered.
