Can I claim compensation if I slipped on a wet floor?
Possibly. If the occupier failed to identify, clean, isolate or warn of the hazard within a reasonable time, you may have a public liability claim.
What should I do after a slip and fall accident?
Seek treatment, report the incident, take photographs if safe and keep records of expenses.
What evidence is important?
CCTV, photographs, incident reports, cleaning records, maintenance records, witness statements and medical reports can be important.
Can I claim if I was partly responsible?
You may still have a claim, but compensation can be reduced if contributory negligence is established.
How long do I have?
Strict limitation periods apply. Seek legal advice promptly.
