Lawson-West has seen an increase in the number of slip, trip and fall accidents recently, and are currently advising a number of clients who have all been injured in a fall at a local shopping centre.
Slipping accidents can lead to a number of injuries, some of which may require prolonged treatment to overcome. If you have been injured as a result of a slip in a shopping centre, or in any area leading to or from the centre or its car park, you may have a claim for compensation.
Owners of shops and shopping centres have a duty to ensure that shoppers are safe when on their premises, and are not at risk of foreseeable injury. They must have an inspection system to identify potential hazards, and a maintenance programme to remove obstacles and hazards such as slippery floors. Click here for more information.
