Frequently Asked Questions
Who is responsible for slip and trip accidents?
Businesses, councils and landowners have a duty to keep their premises and public areas safe. If they fail to do so and you are injured, they may be liable through their public liability insurance.
What evidence helps my claim?
Photos of the hazard, accident reports, CCTV, witness details and medical records all strengthen your case. We'll guide you on gathering what's available.
Do I pay anything upfront?
No. Our No Win No Fee agreement means you only pay if your case succeeds. There are no hidden charges or upfront costs.
How long do I have to make a slip or trip claim?
In Scotland, most personal injury claims must be raised within 3 years of the accident. Contact us as soon as possible to protect your right to compensation.
How much compensation could I receive?
This depends on injury severity, recovery time, and financial losses such as lost income or medical bills. We'll provide an estimate after reviewing your case.
