Whilst it’s fair to say we have had a fairly snow-free winter this year (or at least we have in the midlands where we’re based), it’s certainly been a wet one. There are more weather warnings on the way for this weekend, and in the colder and wetter months we can normally expect an increase in people making wet floor claims.

You walk in to a shop, pub, restaurant, or other public place and there may well be water that has been walked in from snow or rain outside. So if you slip because of this, what can you do about it?

Having been helping people claim for personal injury compensation caused by manhole cover accidents for years, I know better than to walk over them! I know that you’d expect the cover to be safe to cross over; especially when it’s on a public path or highway. But unfortunately, we take on a lot of claims where people have been injured by covers collapsing, flipping, or injuries caused by covers simply not being there.

If you are the unfortunate victim of a manhole cover incident, what can you do about making a claim for personal injury compensation?

If you have tripped on a raised grate and injured yourself, you are entitled to make a claim for personal injury compensation. Compensation is based on your suffering and losses incurred as a result of injury. For example, if you are suffer a broken leg it is likely you would have to take time off from work resulting in you suffering a loss of earnings if you are not paid at all or in full for having time off work.

The colder seasons of the year normally result in an increase in people making a claim for personal injury compensation as result of a pothole injury. Generally speaking, potholes are more commonly formed in colder weather because water seeps in to cracks in the highway surface and expands when it freezes overnight, causing the ground to crack and break open.

So if you are the victim of a pothole accident, what are your rights for a pothole claim against the council?

Have you been injured in an accident due to a wobbly paving slab?

Whether you tripped, slipped, or fell due to a wobbly paving slab, however minor or serious your injuries are, you may be able to make a claim for compensation. It may be that one of several organisations could potentially be liable for your accident. This could be either the local authority / local council, The Highways Agency, or a private landowner if it was a shop front or other places like that. For the majority of claims due to accidents of this nature, the local Council is the one to blame for not maintaining the land on which you had your accident.
