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.
