At Wolferstans, we have a specialist team that are able to advise clients who have experienced injuries caused by a slip, trip or fall. We offer a comprehensive service to all of our clients, ensuring that any compensation attained is proportionate and that they have access to the professional support and care they require.

We understand the sort of impact that slip, trip and falls can have, especially where the corresponding injuries are particularly serious. From the outset of a case, we focus on the immediate needs of the injured person and their family, whether they be physical, psychological or financial.

Early Payments Available

Where possible, we’ll push for interim payments to help cover costs, care, and rehabilitation so you’re not worrying about paying the bills while the claim is progressed.

This also helps you get started on getting your life back on track after an accident, or helping you adapt to your new circumstances in the case of serious injuries.

How we can help with claiming for a fall

When instructed, our experts in slip, trip and fall compensation claims will build a compelling case to support your claim, obtaining any relevant evidence that paints as accurate a picture as possible and demonstrates exactly where liability lies for your injuries.

Our team will use their expertise to help recover the maximum available compensation in your case, providing financial security for both the short and long-term.

Personal injury claims we can help with

In cases where liability is not in dispute when claiming for a fall, we can also seek to obtain interim payments which help to mitigate any immediate financial pressures you may be facing. This could be vital in cases where injuries caused by a slip, trip or fall mean that you are unable to work or need to pay for private medical treatment.

We offer a free initial consultation to slip, trip and fall claimants, so please get in touch to find out more about how we can help you with your claim.

How to claim for slip, trips and falls

Establishing whether you can claim for a slip, trip or fall

Before you can consider making a claim for a slip, trip or fall, you must be able to demonstrate that you are owed compensation. Our specialist slip, trip and fall claims solicitors can help you with this.

Our years of combined experience ensure that we understand what is required to build a strong slip, trip or fall claim, including the type of evidence that will need to be collated.

Making sure you get the maximum available compensation

Accessing the maximum available compensation for your claim will understandably be a top priority for you and your family. As such, our team will always seek to help you achieve the best possible outcome for your circumstances, taking the needs of you and your family into consideration.

We can assist with making a slip, trip or fall claim to cover matters such as:

The financial impact of a slip, trip or fall – e.g. Lost income, medical fees, nursing fees, etc.
The personal impact of a slip, trip or fall – e.g. Your pain and suffering, loss of amenity (not being able to carry out the activities you once could), the time it takes it takes for your family to take care of you.

Securing early payments to cover lost earnings, medical costs and more

There are a number of reasons why it may be beneficial for you to secure an early payment if you have been injured in a slip, trip or fall. It is likely to be especially important to access early payments if you need to fund any care, equipment or home adaptations that may be required as a result of your injuries.
