Slipping over in a pub on wet floor
Pubs, clubs, and bars and the floor being wet often come hand in hand. As the night goes on and the punters get merrier, drinks are bound to be spilled, and the floor is destined to become a dangerous slipping hazard.
But don’t think for one second that you are not eligible to make a claim just because you’re in a pub and you’ve been drinking alcohol. The law is the law, and I’ll explain how it works in relation to slipping over in a pub on a wet floor.

Injury claims for road or path resurfacing accidents
Even concrete and tarmac cannot withstand a battering from the weather – particularly in cold and wet conditions when potholes can be formed in a matter of weeks. It’s important that our roads and paths are well maintained to prevent injuries from trips and falls due to uneven surfaces or defects, and it’s equally as important for the safety of drivers as well.
But what if you are injured in an area that is being resurfaced because of the works that are being carried out?
Loss of teeth, or tooth damage, injury compensation claims
I bet there aren’t many people out there who enjoy going to the dentist – teeth and damage to the teeth isn’t a very pleasing thing to think about, is it?
Tooth damage or loss of teeth in an accident can be a real nightmare – there’s the constant pain, expensive dental work, and the vanity issue of looking different due to noticeably missing teeth.
