Pavement Accident Compensation

Loose paving stones and uneven surfacing are common causes of pavement accidents. It is the responsibility of the local Council or a land owner to ensure that any land they own is maintained in a safe condition and is not dangerous to others.

If you have injured yourself from a slip, trip or fall over defective paving you may be entitled to compensation if the accident was not entirely your fault. For a successful claim your solicitor will need to prove that the person responsible for the land was aware of the defect and took no action to either rectify or warn people about the defect. 

A trip, slip or fall on a loose paving slab or uneven surface can often result in serious injuries such as dislocated shoulders, torn tendons, damaged ligaments and muscles and broken bones. You may have to take time off work as a result of your injuries and incur additional expenses like prescription charges and travel expenses to medical appointments.

At JMW Solicitors we can help you recover damages for your injury and all other losses you incurred as a result of your pavement accident. 

Mr C tripped over an uncovered drain hole in February 2009 and fractured his right index finger. He came to JMW in April 2009 for some advice. Mr C was unable to work for 7 weeks as a result of his injury and could not pursue his hobbies like playing golf or gardening. Mr C’s finger remained stiff and uncomfortable in cold weather and his range of hand movement was limited. We helped him to recover £3,750.00 in compensation.
