Slips and Trip Claims Solicitors in Blackpool
Helping You Recover Compensation on a No Win No Fee Basis
Slips, trips and falls are among the most common causes of personal injury, yet they are often wrongly dismissed as “just an accident”. If you’ve been injured after slipping or tripping in a shop, supermarket, pub, club, shopping centre or other public place, you may be entitled to compensation – particularly if the accident could have been prevented.
At Barker Booth & Eastwood Solicitors, our experienced slips and trip claims solicitors in Blackpool help clients across the Fylde Coast and North West pursue compensation for injuries caused by unsafe premises, poor maintenance or inadequate safety procedures.
Making a Slip or Trip Claim
Businesses, landlords and public authorities have a legal duty to take reasonable steps to keep premises safe. Common causes of slip and trip accidents include:
-
Wet or slippery floors without warning signs
-
Spilled liquids or food left unattended
-
Uneven flooring or loose tiles
-
Torn carpets or raised door thresholds
-
Poor lighting in public areas
-
Icy or poorly maintained pavements
Injuries from slips and trips can range from soft tissue injuries and fractures to serious head injuries or long-term mobility problems. Our solicitors will carefully assess how the accident happened and whether the responsible party failed in their duty of care.
Why Slip and Trip Claims Are Often Defended – and How We Help
It’s common for shops, supermarkets and other organisations to deny responsibility by claiming they had a “reasonable system” in place for cleaning, inspecting and maintaining their premises.
While such systems may exist on paper, they are frequently not properly followed in practice. At Barker Booth & Eastwood, we know what evidence to look for – including cleaning records, inspection logs, CCTV footage and witness statements – to challenge these defences and strengthen your claim.
Our experience in handling slip and trip claims means we can identify weaknesses in the other party’s case and maximise your chances of securing full and fair compensation.
