Case Study- £7,500 compensation for slipping accident in Shopping Centre

 HHD solicitor: Katrina Lagan, Solicitor, specialising in personal injury claims

Settlement: £7,500

What happened: 72 year old woman slipped on a wet floor in CastleCourt Shopping Centre, Belfast

How HHD solicitors helped: We were able to pursue a claim against the management company of CastleCourt for an inadequate cleaning and inspection system. A necessary element for any successful claim for personal injury compensation is establishing fault, either through negligence or breach of statutory duty and it is for the Defendant to prove that they took all reasonable steps to comply with their duty of care. This matter settled out of court and our client was awarded £7,500 for the injuries she sustained.

Our client was delighted to receive the compensation due so promptly after pursuing the claim. If you have had a slipping accident in a public place which has caused you an injury you may be entitled to make a personal injury claim for compensation.  To find out more about how our specialist personal injury lawyers could help you, please email on katrinalagan@hhdsolicitors.com
