Can I claim compensation for a slip at work?

Yes. If you have suffered a slip and fall injury at work and it was not your fault, then you may be able to claim compensation.

Once this is done, we can begin to calculate the amount of compensation we will ask for. Typically, most slip and trip compensation claims are settled out of court. If your case does go to court, which is unlikely, our slip and fall solicitors will be with you every step of the way.
