Slips, trips and falls at work
Hazards which might cause a person to fall, such as by slipping or tripping, exist in many areas of life, not just the workplace. But for some, the risk of a slip or a trip is greater at work.
- Supermarket or other shop workers are often at greater risk from spillages due to the amount of stock being moved by other staff and by customers
- Factory workers are often at risk from substances on the floor from machinery or components
- Construction, communications and utilities workers are often required to work at height
Whatever your situation, it is important you get advice from experts in workplace accident compensation claims. When it comes to safety of floors in a workplace, an employer’s duty of care is different from, say, the duty a council has about a pavement.
For workers who are injured after falling from height, there is a specific set of regulations which apply to those tasks. Those regulations impose some important responsibilities on an employer.
If you are interested in making a compensation claim for a slip, trip or fall at work, please get in touch with us today for a confidential discussion.

What our clients say
- Stephen Irvine, I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for me. I would never have imagined getting the settlement I did, and it was all thanks to you. A bit of a difference compared to the amount i was originally offered!
D.L. - 10/10 for Alex Robertson who kept in touch with me throughout the whole process.
R.D. - Fiona Fraser gave us amazing support after I was in a car accident with my daughter. She checked in with us as soon as she found out to see if we were ok and arranged to get information to start our claim. Fiona kept me informed at all stages of the process and always gave great advice on what to do next.
L.M. - My case was not clear cut, but Stephen Irvine was excellent. I received an outcome I was very happy with, better than I was expecting. Thank you.
W.P.
