Common causes of slip, trip and fall accidents include:

  • Hazardous placement of objects in pathways or entranceways

More Information


If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident, it’s important to record evidence of the hazard causing the accident. Please take photographs of the hazard and site of the accident.

 

The Occupiers’ Liability Act applies in most of these cases. The standard on the occupier is “reasonableness not perfection.”

 

While you may be entitled to the compensation, note that there are strict limitation periods. If you miss a deadline, your claim for compensation for your injuries may be lost forever.

 

We work on a contingency fee (%) basis for slip and fall accident injury cases that we accept.

 

Some of these limitation periods can be as short as 60 days form the date of the accident.

 

It’s best to call a lawyer first before calling the insurance company. Anything you say to the insurance company could be used against you at a later date.

 

If you’ve been injured in a slip, trip and fall accident, please call Dyson Law today.
