Nobody expects to come away injured walking on a pavement but you could be entitled to make a personal injury claim if it is because of negligence.
Claiming against a highway authority
If you are making a claim for an accident where you have tripped on a pavement, you might be able to bring the claim against the relevant highway authority.
The highway authority is obliged to maintain roads and footpaths. This includes checking for defects regularly and resolving any that arise, acting on complaints within a reasonable time, and signposting any defects or hazards prior to their repair.
If these are not done and you have been injured due to tripping on a public path, we may be able to help you claim against the highway authority.
What situations could I make a claim against?
Even though the saying is “watch where you’re going”, more often than not you don’t expect to trip up on the pavement.
Therefore you might have a claim if you have tripped on an uneven kerb or paving slab; paving that was laid incorrectly; tripped on a road sign or drain cover that was not properly installed; or on damaged pavements that have not been properly maintained.
