Slipping and Tripping Accidents

At Price Mears & Co. our accident compensation solicitors deal with a large number of slipping and tripping claims on behalf of our clients both in Rochdale and beyond..   Our solicitors are accident compensation lawyers and personal injury specialists.   Most of our new work comes from recommendation.

Tripping accidents most commonly occur in the street, on the pavements, footpaths, or whilst crossing carriageways and roads.

People can fall and cause themselves a personal injury on uneven paving stones, raised paving stones, broken paving stones, missing or broken manhole covers and grids or in potholes which have not been repaired.

Slipping accidents in the workplace can often occur because floor surfaces are slippery or  because floor coverings, such as carpets and tiles, are not fitted correctly, are worn out or are not properly fastened down.

Often people will slip or trip over items which have been left blocking passageways intended to provide a safe means of getting from one part of an office, factory, or warehouse, to another.

Accidents can happen and injuries occur when people slip or trip in a supermarket, in car parks, or in shops, offices or railway stations or other public buildings such as hospitals or Council offices.
