Slip and trip accidents happen in supermarkets, pavements, workplaces, and public spaces.
These scenarios often lead to successful slip and trip claims:
When negligence, such as poor maintenance or missing safety signs, causes your accident, NJS Law builds a strong slip and trip claim on your behalf.
You may be eligible to make a slip and trip claim if these conditions apply:
If you are unsure who was responsible, NJS Law investigates liability and identifies the correct party to compensate you. Claims are usually limited to three years, but exceptions apply for children and vulnerable adults.
If the accident happened at work, you may still be eligible even if your employer denies responsibility. Our solicitors provide a free consultation to explain your rights and guide you through the next steps.
When making a slip and trip claim, compensation is assessed across several categories:
Compensation is usually split into general damages (for injury and suffering) and special damages (for financial losses). Minor slip and trip injuries may settle for a few thousand pounds, while serious or long-term conditions can result in much higher awards.

Real case studies show how our solicitors have successfully secured compensation for slip and trip claims across the UK. These examples highlight negligence, the injuries suffered, and the results we achieved:
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.
We secured £10,355 in compensation after proving the retailer had failed in its duty of care.
You usually have three years from the accident date to start your claim. For children, the time limit starts on their 18th birthday.
Compensation depends on injury severity and financial loss. Minor claims may settle for thousands, while serious, long-term injuries can result in significantly higher awards.
Photographs of the hazard, witness details, medical reports, and accident records all strengthen your case. Keeping receipts of expenses also supports your claim.
Yes. Employers have a legal duty to keep workplaces safe. If unsafe conditions caused your injury, you may still claim even if your employer denies fault.
Yes. Parents, guardians, or litigation friends can claim on behalf of children, vulnerable adults, or individuals who cannot pursue a claim themselves.
Straightforward claims may settle within months. Complex cases, or those requiring medical assessments, may take longer if negotiations or court proceedings are needed.
