Someone may be entitled to compensation after a slip, trip or fall if their injury happened due to hazards like uneven flooring, spillages, or poorly maintained walkways. When an employer, business, property owner, or local authority fails to meet their duty of care, they may be legally responsible for the physical, financial, and long-term effects of the injury. These cases are commonly known as personal injury claims for falls, allowing injured individuals to recover their losses.
