Injured in a Slip, Trip, or Fall? We Can Help
Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, often without warning. Our experienced solicitors provide clear advice and legal guidance to help you understand your options.
Trusted Legal Support for Slip, Trip & Fall Accidents
At HOMS Assist, we understand that a simple fall can have serious physical, emotional, and financial consequences. Our solicitors provide clear, professional advice to those injured in public or private places, helping them navigate the Personal Injuries Resolution Board (PIRB) process.
We act for clients injured in supermarkets, footpaths, shopping centres, workplaces, and other public spaces, ensuring every case is handled with care, accuracy, and attention to detail.
What Is a Slip, Trip & Fall Claim?
A slip, trip, or fall claim may arise when an individual suffers an injury due to a hazardous condition on someone else’s property. These incidents can occur indoors or outdoors and often involve:
- Wet or uneven floors without warning signage.
- Damaged pavements or loose tiles.
- Poor lighting or unsafe stairs.
- Unsecured mats or cables.
- Inadequate maintenance or cleaning practices.
Property owners, occupiers, and service providers have a duty of care to take reasonable steps to keep their premises safe. However, courts will also expect adults to exercise care for their own safety. Determining liability involves balancing the conduct of both parties and assessing whether the occupier acted reasonably in preventing foreseeable risks.
