Injuries sustained from slips trips or falls can be humiliating and lower a person’s confidence. Thousands of people in the UK suffer from these accidents every year, causing minor injuries like muscle sprains or severe injuries like brain or spinal cord damage.
Organizations have to keep their premises safe for employees to work in and for the general public to visit. The ones that cover larger ground like supermarkets are required by law to have public liability insurance in case of an injury claim for compensation. Common injuries from accidents on commercial areas include muscle strains and sprains, neck injuries, back or spinal injuries, broken or fractured bones and injuries to the head.
Local authorities from any area are mandated by law to keep their walkways, pavements and roads safe for pedestrians. In case of an injury sustained in these areas, the local council or property owner in case of private spaces, has to pay compensation to the victim. People could get into accidents in such areas resulting in neck injuries, muscle sprains, back or spinal cord injuries, broken bones or fractures, and head injuries.
Since it’s the employers’ responsibility to ensure a safe working environment for all their employees, any injury caused at the workplace makes the victim liable for a compensation claim to cover medical fees and lost income. The victim may claim for any injury, big or small, like a muscle sprain, broken bones or fractures, to a back or spinal cord injury and head injuries.
