Workplace slip and trip injuries cover harm caused by slipping, tripping or falling at work due to hazards such as wet floors, uneven surfaces or inadequately maintained premises. A solicitor practising in this area investigates the incident, collects evidence (medical reports, photos, witness statements, CCTV), and pursues a claim against the employer or their insurers under employers’ liability and occupiers’ liability principles. They guide the client through liability disputes, fault assessment, and the process of settlement or court action, all while navigating time limits and medical prognosis implications.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The key risk is the potential for significant injuries and time-limited claims, with serious consequences if deadlines or contributory fault are not properly managed. A solicitor helps protect the client’s position by handling evidence gathering, liaising with the employer’s insurer and, if needed, progressing the claim to court or to a negotiated settlement.
