Slips and trips in public places

No matter how careful you are when out and about, accidents can happen and slips and trips are common. However, it may not always be your fault. If you have slipped or tripped because someone failed in their duty to keep you safe, you could be able to claim compensation.

Slips, trips and falls can happen just about anywhere - from a footpath or supermarket car park to a shop, restaurant, or even a private home. Wherever the accident occurred, if the owners of the premises are to blame, you could have a valid claim. By claiming compensation, you could receive the support you need to aid your recovery and help you get back on track. You may reduce the risk of someone else experiencing the same thing too.

At Smith Roddam Solicitors our specialist solicitors have a wealth of experience of dealing with slips and trips cases and have successfully helped hundreds of people receive the compensation they deserve following an accident.

Smith Roddam Solicitors offers a free initial assessment promise, meaning you can discuss your situation and find out what options you have, before deciding what action to take. Get in touch by calling us on 01388 881 611 and our friendly, knowledgeable solicitors will be able to answer any questions you may have.

Injury claims

Accidents happen. Unfortunately, due to another person’s negligence or failure to put appropriate safeguards in place, an innocent person can be hurt, injured, or worse. At Smith Roddam Solicitors, our experience helps innocent parties receive justice for a needless injury that should have been avoided.

Accidents abroad

Holidays are a time for relaxation and enjoyment. Unfortunately accidents still happen - even when we’re on holiday - and each year many people suffer an accident or become ill whilst overseas.

Animals causing injury

We may be a nation of animal lovers but unfortunately animals can be unpredictable and cause thousands of injuries each year. If you’ve been injured by an animal and its owner didn’t take reasonable precautions to protect you, then you may be able to make a claim for compensation.

Criminal injuries or assault

Being attacked or assaulted is an upsetting and distressing experience that often results in physical or psychological injuries. If you’ve been the target of an attack, our criminal injury specialists are here to offer the guidance and support you need. We can help you make a claim for compensation as well as providing practical help and legal advice.

Fatal injury claims

Smith Roddam Solicitors can advise you how to seek compensation when a fatal injury has been caused by the negligence of another person or company.

Faulty products

When we buy products, we put our trust in retailers and manufacturers that the products will work correctly and safely. Sometimes products fail to work as promised and, on rare occasions, defects can cause illness or injury.

Life-changing injuries

Seeking compensation for an injury that has life changing consequences is where Smith Roddam Solicitors can help. With some of the best lawyers in the UK we advise on how to make a claim.

Military injury claims

If you’ve been injured whilst serving in the Armed Forces it can be a distressing experience for you and your family. You may be worried about the impact that your injuries will have on your long-term health, career, and relationships. Whether you’re a member of the Army, the Naval Service or the Royal Air Force; the Ministry of Defence has a responsibility for your safety and wellbeing – just like any other employer.

Road traffic collisions

An accident whilst driving can have serious consequences. If another road user was careless, reckless or negligent, Smith Roddam Solicitors can help with any claim.

Slips and trips in public places

Work place injuries and disease

Having an accident at work may show that your employer has failed to carry out their responsibilities properly. Smith Roddam Solicitors can help you with a claim if health and safety laws have not been followed.
