Trips and Slips Case Study
Shopping should be Safe, not Slippery
The claimant intended to buy a spare part for a car. She walked into the showroom through the main entrance, collected and paid for the spare part. She then turned to walk back out of the showroom. She had nearly reached the main entrance again when she slipped. She jarred her back and hip as she landed and banged her elbow. As her feet had slipped forward and she fell backwards, she didn't have chance to try and break her fall. A member of staff advised her not to move and then assisted her to sit up. Eventually, the claimant left the showroom, still feeling sore.
One of our Accident Compensation Solicitors began a personal injury claim for compensation for the claimant against the showroom.
As a result of her slip, the claimant injured her back causing her back and hip pain, suffered a whiplash claim type injury to her neck and severely bruised her elbow.
The garage admitted liability and the claimant was awarded nearly £4000 general damages in accident compensation claim for the whiplash injury to her neck and the back injury. She had not taken any time off work as she was in process of searching for a job. Since the accident she has found employment. One of our Accident Compensation Solicitors also recovered additional accident compensation for physiotherapy, which helped the claimant recover from her injuries.
