What are Slip Trip and Fall Claims?
Slip trip and fall claims let you seek compensation when you’ve suffered an injury due to somebody else’s breach of duty (or negligence). Everyday sites in London, like high-traffic streets near Oxford Circus, hospital corridors in St Thomas’ Hospital, and pavements managed by local borough councils, can all pose risks if hazards are not addressed.
You could claim compensation if your injury resulted from situations such as:
Wet floors without warning signs in shops or restaurants
Poorly maintained public walkways on main roads such as The Strand
Obstructions or spills left unattended in local authority buildings
Damaged stairs in City office blocks
Common injuries include sprained wrists or ankles, broken bones, and head injuries. If another party failed to comply with safety rules, like the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957, that strengthens your claim, whether you’re a worker, visitor, or resident.
Our solicitors can guide you through every stage of making a slip trip and fall claim. They can help with evidence collection, submitting your application, and taking on the responsible party’s insurers.
If you want to know if your London slip, trip, or fall accident could lead to compensation, why not ask our team about your options today?
Common Causes Of Slip Trip And Fall Accidents
Slip trip and fall accidents across London stem from a wide range of hazards found in shops, hospitals, tube stations, and along public footpaths. Understanding the most frequent causes can help you determine if a compensation claim may be possible with support from No Win No Fee Solicitors Co.
Wet Or Slippery Floors
Wet or slippery floors are a leading cause of slip accidents in places like supermarkets, hospital corridors, and on the London Underground. Common risks include:
Spills from liquids or food in aisles
Recently cleaned floors without clear warning signs
Greasy surfaces in restaurant kitchens
If you’ve slipped on a wet floor where a warning was missing or cleaning routines were poor, you may be able to claim against the responsible party. If you’re struggling to prove liability, one of our solicitors could help by obtaining witness statements or CCTV footage to help prove what happened.
Uneven Pavements And Walkways
Uneven pavements and damaged walkways often result in trips on London streets, public parks, or council-maintained areas. Tripping hazards can include:
Broken or raised paving slabs on Oxford Street
Loose kerbstones along residential roads
Potholes and exposed utility covers
When a local authority or property owner fails to maintain safe pathways, and you suffer an injury, liability may rest with them. Our solicitors can investigate maintenance records and liaise with authorities to prepare a strong case for your claim.
Inadequate Lighting
Inadequate lighting in car parks, stairwells, or public walkways throughout London frequently causes falls by concealing hazards. Typical examples:
Poorly lit staircases in office blocks
Dim streetlights making trip hazards hard to see
Underground or multistory car parks with insufficient lighting
If you tripped or fell somewhere lighting was inadequate, our specialist solicitors can help establish negligence and pursue your claim.
If you’ve experienced a slip, trip, or fall accident due to any of these hazards, why not contact our team for free advice today?
Legal Framework For Slip Trip And Fall Claims
Understanding the legal framework for slip, trip, and fall claims is key when seeking compensation in London. UK law sets out clear responsibilities for property owners, employers, and local councils to minimise risk and prevent harm.
Duty Of Care And Negligence
London property owners, employers, and authorities owe you a duty of care under laws such as the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Occupiers’ Liability Act. Negligence may arise when this duty is breached, for example:
Failing to warn about wet floors in a London hospital corridor
Ignoring maintenance of cracked pavements on Tottenham Court Road
Leaving hazards unaddressed in council-managed housing
Proving negligence is vital if you’re to be compensated following a slip, trip or fall in London. Luckily, this is something our solicitors specailise in, so please get in touch if you’d like us to review your case.
Proving Liability In Claims
Liability for a slip, trip, or fall claim is proven using evidence that a duty of care existed, was breached, and caused your injury. Our solicitors help you collect:
Photographs of accident scenes on busy Westminster streets
Witness statements from colleagues or bystanders
CCTV footage from shops or transport interchanges
Medical reports detailing your injury
If you’d like us to review your case, assess who is responsible and help you to start a claim, please feel free to call today.
Steps To Take After A Slip Trip And Fall Accident
Taking the right steps straight after a slip, trip or fall in London helps strengthen your claim for compensation. Prompt action ensures important evidence isn’t lost and that your report is properly logged.
Gathering Evidence
Collecting evidence plays a crucial part in proving your case. Photographs of the accident site on Oxford Street or near St Thomas’ Hospital highlight hazards such as wet floors or broken paving. Keep medical records showing your injuries treated by local NHS services. Secure CCTV footage if available, and get contact details from witnesses who saw your fall.
Reporting The Incident
Reporting the accident ensures it’s officially recorded with the relevant authority. If you slipped in a supermarket or tripped on a pavement in Westminster, report it to the manager or local council immediately. Always request an accident report—London workplaces and shops must have one by law. Instruct your manager or the business to provide you with a copy, which helps establish that the incident happened at the stated time and place.
Even if you’ve not taken all of these steps, we could still help you claim compensation for a slip, trip or fall in London. Simply give us a call and we’ll assess your options for free.

You could claim if your injuries resulted from another party’s negligence, like those responsible for public walkways, London Underground stations, or hospital corridors.
Types Of Damages You May Claim
Damages you can claim after a slip, trip, or fall often include:
General damages for pain, suffering, and loss of amenity (for example, limited mobility after a broken hip)
Special damages covering current and future loss of earnings, medical expenses for NHS or private care, rehabilitation costs, and adaptations to your London home
Cost of care where family members or paid carers assisted during your recovery
Psychological damages for conditions such as anxiety or depression caused by the accident

Type and severity of injury (e.g. minor sprain versus permanent spinal injury)
Impact on your daily life (like not being able to return to your City of London job)
