Navigating Responsibility
When it comes to trip and slip claims, identifying the responsible party is paramount. For instance, if you trip on a cracked pavement in town or at a holiday complex, the onus falls on the local council or the holiday company overseeing the resort to ensure the safety of paths. In such cases, a claim can be pursued. However, if the incident occurs due to an object left on the pavement by a member of the public, the situation becomes more complex.
Gathering Essential Information
To effectively support your claim, it’s crucial to gather all necessary information, including witness statements, medical records, photographs of the scene, and evidence of reporting the incident to the local authority or premises owner.
