Handling Fall Claims With Expertise And Sensitivity

A fall from height can sadly result in devastating injuries and deaths.

The owners or occupiers of public or commercial premises have a duty of care to ensure your safety. The extent of this duty of care depends on the circumstances. Their legal responsibilities may change depending on the nature of the potential risk of a fall from height and whether it is an obvious risk. The duty of care also depends on the age of the injured person and whether they were lawfully on the premises.

Compensation For Sheffield Man After Fall In The Street

In September 2009, our client was about to cross a road in Sheffield. As he stepped off the pavement, his foot dropped into an uncovered drain. Our client injured his right thumb and suffered injuries to his right leg.

When our client was see at a local hospital, he was given a supportive bandage and seen in the fracture clinic where the decision was made to apply a plaster cast.

Sheffield City Council admitted liability for leaving the drain uncovered and Irwin Mitchell solicitors helped the man to a settlement of £2,437.

Thankfully, although his injuries interfered with performing household chores for some time, our client’s leg healed with only a minor scar which isn’t visible from a distance.
