Slips and falls can occur anywhere - on the street, on private land, in buildings or even at work. Many slips and falls are caused by the negligence or carelessness of others.

On the street or road, the highway authority is bound by law to maintain the highway and if there is a defect, obstacle or dangerous situation, and you are injured as a result of a slip or fall there is always a good possibility for a claim.

Occupiers of buildings or land have clear duties to inspect, maintain and keep their premises safe, free from obstructions causing slips and falls.

At work, employers are bound to keep their factories and offices safe from slips and falls.
