These types of accident can occur anywhere, such as at a supermarket, in an office, a public place or in the street, a wet floor, a hole in the pavement or a protruding object, could have caused it.

If you are involved in a tripping or slipping accident it would be helpful to gather the following information:

Get photographs of the defect from different angles as soon as possible. Use something that shows the size to scale, such as a ruler. Place a Newspaper clearly showing the date by the defect so as to show when the photographs were taken. If you have cuts or bruising take photographs of them.

If you have been injured, contact your GP for treatment.
