If you feel that negligence was to blame for the slip & fall accident that has caused your personal injury, there are steps you can take at the scene that you help you if you decide to pursue a claim later on. If possible, it is extremely useful to take photographs of the accident scene, including the contaminant or cause of your slip & fall. If your injury is visible, you may also wish to photograph this as evidence, although it is highly recommended that you seek medical attention, no matter how minor the injury appears to be. By consulting a medical practitioner, your injury will be documented in your medical records.

If there were any witnesses to the accident or anyone else saw the cause of your fall, you should ask for their names and contact details. Also, if the slip occurred at work or in a premise open to the public, such as a shop or bank, the accident and your injury should be reported to a manager so that it can be put in their accident record book. This could help to avoid any potential disputes when it comes to making a claim.

A claim for a personal injury sustained in a slip and fall accident must be made within three years of the date of the accident, as with any other personal injury claim, and a claim can only be made if an injury was sustained – not for the accident by itself or for a ‘near miss’.

This claim would be brought against your employer if the slip and fall happened at work, against your local authority if it occurred on a public highway or against the public liability insurance of the occupier of a premise such as a shop, bank or restaurant. Negligence must be proven in order for the claim to be successful, so it must be shown that appropriate action was not taken against a known fault or an issue that the liable party should have been aware of. If they had failed to carry out a risk assessment of their premises to identify potential hazards, this could also be negligence and classed as a breach in duty of care.
