Slip or trip claims & compensation

Belfast & Northern Ireland

Having an accident in a public place can be embarrassing and many would prefer not to make a fuss when it happens. Despite this, such incidents can have lasting consequences and if they were the fault of another, compensation could be owed.

What are public & occupier’s liability claims?

If you are in a public place and you slip or trip and it wasn’t your fault then you might be entitled to claim if you were injured as a result. These types of personal injury claims are called public or occupier’s liability claims. However, they are informally known to most people as slips, trips or falls claims.

Slips or trips can happen anywhere

Those responsible for public spaces should reasonably ensure that surfaces are made from a material that reduces the risk of someone slipping.

McCartan Turkington Breen has helped many people in Northern Ireland who have suffered due to accidents in public spaces such as parks, gyms, supermarkets and bars. Our public & occupier’s liability claims department is so well regarded, that it is currently ranked in the top band in the prestigious Chambers Guide.  

Our expert solicitors will work tirelessly to get you:

  • Compensation for your pain, suffering and loss of amenity.
  • Private medical examinations.
  • Loss of earnings payments.
  • Any other special damages that are appropriate in the context of your case.

People expect to remain safe in a public place. We understand the pain, stress and frustration caused by injuries that were not your fault. Our team of dedicated personal injury experts have obtained compensation for clients that have suffered a wide range of injuries, from soft-tissue injuries such as cuts and bruising to fractured bones. Our mission is to get you back to where you were before your accident, or as close to it as possible.
