Trips & Slips at Work
Employers have a legal responsibility to provide a safe place of work, safe access to it, and competent fellow employees. Employers must also conduct a thorough risk assessment, and provide safe floor surfaces including steps and stairs. They must ensure as far as possible that floors are kept free from any items or substances likely to cause a slip or fall. When floors are wet, appropriate signs should be placed in the area and there should be enough light so people can read these signs.
If you have been injured at work as a result of a slipping or tripping accident, we can advise you as to whether you will be entitled to claim against your employer's liability insurance for damages on a no win no fee basis.
Specialist Accident at Work Solicitors
Carrs Solicitors bring over 15 years of experience winning claims for trips and slips at work arising from employer's negligence or breach of statutory duty in the work place.
