TRIPS/SLIPS AND PUBLIC LIABILITY
This type of claim is labelled by some people as an example of today's "compensation culture".
However, our experience is that these types of claims can involve people who suffer very serious injuries through no fault of their own, such as:
- Injuries to the elderly, caused by slipping or tripping on defective pavements;
- Injuries to children, caused by defective utility grids;
- Injuries caused by slipping on wet floors in supermarkets, hospitals and schools;
- Injuries suffered by children in playgrounds and sports centres;
- Claims by council tenants for ill health caused by housing disrepairs and defective premises;
- Injuries to cyclists, motorcyclists and motorists caused by potholes in roads.
All public and private organisations owe a duty of care to ensure that all visitors to premises are safe and highway authorities must keep the roads and pavements in a good state of repair.
