Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell

If you’ve slipped and injured yourself, talk to us about the possibility of making a slip injury claim. We’ve successfully helped people recover compensation after slips in supermarkets, restaurants, shops, pubs and many other locations.

Irwin Mitchell has a wealth of experience in handling slip injury compensation claims of various levels of severity. If you have suffered an injury after a slip that was not your fault, you could be entitled to claim compensation.

At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for your slip accident claim. We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting you and your family due to a slip related injury, and we know what positive action to take to make a difference. 

Our lawyers offer the highest level of professionalism and expertise, combined with dedication and sensitivity.

Above all, we put you first.

Handling Slip Injury Claims With Expertise And Sensitivity

The owners or occupiers of public or commercial premises have a duty of care to ensure your safety. If your accident happened on their premises and we can prove they failed in that duty, we should be able to make a strong case for a slip injury compensation claim.

We have a team of lawyers who specialise in accident claims involving slipping injuries. If they think that you have a right to pursue a claim, they’ll do everything in their power to help you get the recompense you deserve.

Not only that, but if your slip injuries are such that you’re incapacitated, they’ll ensure you get the right rehabilitation support to help you get back on an even keel.

Contact us as soon as possible, especially since there may be time limits. Then, we can give you a balanced, jargon-free assessment of your chances of success.

If you slipped in a shop, pub or other public place, try and take photos of the area where you slipped. This will help us to prove that someone else was at fault for your accident. You should also make sure that your slip is recorded in the accident book if applicable. It is also useful to collect the names and addresses of any witnesses who can help to piece together what happened.

Fall On Ice Leaves Woman With Broken Wrist

Our client was working as a cleaner at a local school when she slipped on a dangerous patch of ice. The path, which had not gritted was dangerously slippery and there were no warnings in place as to the hazards of the area.

As a consequence of the fall, our client sustained a fracture to her right wrist. She underwent a surgical procedure under general anaesthetic in which metal wires were inserted into her arm. It was also necessary for her to undertake a course of physiotherapy.

Cathryn Godfrey, of the Serious Injury team in Irwin Mitchell’s Leeds office helped her to pursue a claim, which we were able to settle for £15,000 without the need for starting Court proceedings. This figure included compensation for lost earnings during her recovery period, money for the care and assistance provided to her by her husband, and reimbursement for travel expenses incurred. It will also go towards the assistance that our client will need around the house in the future due to the residual weakness in her wrist that she now experiences.
