If you’ve suffered an injury due to a poorly maintained pavement or walkway, you may be entitled to compensation. Uneven surfaces, loose paving slabs, or hidden potholes can lead to serious accidents — and when local authorities or property owners fail in their duty to keep walkways safe, you have the right to hold them accountable.
At NJS Law, our experienced personal injury team is here to guide you through the process of making a pavement accident claim with compassion and clarity.

Pavement accidents can occur in a wide range of settings. Below are some of the most common scenarios that may lead to a valid personal injury claim:
Wet or Slippery Floors
Where spills or cleaning activities are not properly signposted.
Uneven Pavements or Broken Flooring
Cracked tiles, loose carpets, or damaged walkways can cause serious trips and injuries, especially in public places.
Poor Lighting
Inadequate lighting in outdoor areas can make it difficult to see hazards, increasing the risk of falling.
Obstructed Walkways
If your injury was caused by poor maintenance, lack of warning signs, or failure to comply with health and safety regulations, we’ll work tirelessly to build a strong claim on your behalf.
You may be entitled to compensation if:
Your accident occurred in a public space such as a pavement, park, leisure centre, or car park
It happened in the last three years
The injury was caused by someone else’s negligence or failure to maintain safe conditions

Our client described feeling shocked, stressed, and in pain after a preventable accident on public property. While walking back to their car, they fell into a hidden hole disguised by a pile of leaves, breaking their wrist.
This injury required surgery and caused lasting difficulties with everyday tasks.
£8,500 Compensation for Injury Caused by Broken Spring on Playground Apparatus
Play areas should be safe spaces—but when maintenance is ignored, they can quickly become dangerous. Our client was using a piece of equipment in a public play area when they were injured by exposed sharp edges caused by a broken spring.
We helped secure £8,500 in compensation after proving the land occupier had known about the fault for over two months and failed to act
Before even entering the store, our client was injured—due to a hazard the business should have fixed.
A routine visit to a well-known supermarket ended in pain, bruising, and lasting wrist injuries after they tripped over a damaged manhole cover near the entrance.
