Personal injury through not keeping client safe during visit to premises - £2,200 settlement

After a fall whilst visiting a cafe our client suffered from soft tissue injuries to the lower back and left hand; as a result physiotherapy was required.

Due to a breach of their statutory duty under the Occupiers Liability Act 1957 in that they; failed to keep customer reasonably safe whilst on their premises; failed to ensure the floor was safe from any slipping hazards; failed to warn customers of any slipping hazards; and failed to implement an adequate cleaning system. Therefore, exposing our client to a danger/trap and a foreseeable risk of injury our personal injury solicitors were able to receive a £2,200 settlement for our client.
