If you have suffered an injury as a result of a slip, trip or a fall than we at Imperium Claims can provide the highest standard of advice to ensure that you receive the compensation that you not only deserve, but are legally entitled to.

Shopping centers:
When in a shopping centre it is the duty of those in charge to ensure that all public walkways and aisles are free from obstructions and that all spillages are immediately cleared away.

Food and liquid spillages are common occurrences in supermarkets and in any event, must be cleared away as soon as possible with the correct warning sign put into place.

All shop floors must be kept clear from obstructions, deliveries and stock. Cleaning equipment must be kept away from the members of public and if in any instance an item is left in the path of a customer; than the correct warning must always be given.

Failure in immediately clearing away spillages and obstructions and warning employees and members of the public of hazardous conditions in the correct manner can result in the occurrence of slips, trips and falls. Construction sites:
Construction sites are notorious for the array of hazards that are often present; however it is the duty of the site manager to ensure that all areas are safe for all employees.

Failure in the successful construction of scaffolding, the correct use of ladders and the failure to clear all building equipment away can create hazardous conditions and as a result, can lead to the occurrence of slip, trips and falls.

Public Places:
If you visit any public place than those who are in charge maintain a duty to ensure that all hazards are appropriately dealt with.

Whether it is a leisure centre, a gym or a cinema; all spillages must immediately be cleared away and sufficient warning must always be provided in order to ensure that all employees and all members of the public are fully aware of the potential hazards.
There is also a duty on part of those in charge to ensure sufficient warning be provided in regards to poor floor conditions that may include ripped carpeting and broken tiles.

Broken and raised slabs on public pathways can lead to trips; due to being in constant use, it is not uncommon for pavement slabs to be slightly raised, however in any instance if there is an extreme danger that may be present to the public, than it is the duty of the local authorities to ensure that the pavement is made safe for public use.
