These type of compensation claims usually involve a claim for compensation for injury (both physical and psychological) together with a claim for loss of earnings for the time the injured person spends off work and other expenses such as travel costs and medical bills can also be recovered.

In the case of more serious injures there can be compensation claims for future losses also if they cannot return to their job due to the nature of the injury they have suffered or they can only work reduced hours.

The effects of such accidents can be far reaching for the injured person and their family.

These can occur either out in public, on a pavement or a road for example, or in private areas such as a shop, a gym, a shopping centre or a friend's home.

For public matters the Local Council is usually the responsible body and most cases are pursued under The Highways Act.

For private matters shop owners and householders are usually covered by their own insurance and a claim is pursued under The Occupiers Liability Acts.

Most slips, trips and falls injury compensation claims result in people breaking wrists or arms as they put their hands out in front of them as they fall to protect their faces, or in twisting injuries when people fall awkwardly. These types of injury can result in people taking time off from work and losing income, requiring care and assistance from family and friends and incurring other expenses.
