Slips, trips and falls at work
Hazards which might cause a person to fall, such as by slipping or tripping, exist in many areas of life, not just the workplace. But for some, the risk of a slip or a trip is greater at work.
- Supermarket or other shop workers are often at greater risk from spillages due to the amount of stock being moved by other staff and by customers
- Factory workers are often at risk from substances on the floor from machinery or components
- Construction, communications and utilities workers are often required to work at height
Whatever your situation, it is important you get advice from experts in workplace accident compensation claims. When it comes to safety of floors in a workplace, an employer’s duty of care is different from, say, the duty a council has about a pavement.
For workers who are injured after falling from height, there is a specific set of regulations which apply to those tasks. Those regulations impose some important responsibilities on an employer.

What our clients say
- The service I received was outstanding throughout. Stephen Irvine was very helpful, understanding, and courteous. He explained the whole process very well and was very swift in replying to any queries, or when informing me of updates. The outcome was very good, and the compensation received was higher than we initially thought, thanks to Stephen's guidance and hard work. I'm very appreciative.
G.H. - I want to thank Steven Blacklaws for everything he has done. He always made me feel validated for the hurt I was feeling. Something that no one in my work ever did. I will forever tell people of the amazing work you do and let them know how caring and compassionate you have been. I went through the worst time in my life and you always assured me you would do your best to make this right and you did. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, just thank you.
A.C. - Thank you very much for everything that you have done to help and guide me with this claim, Stephen Irvine. The amount received is much better than I expected. I will certainly recommend you and Allan McDougall Solicitors to friends and family.
G.H. - Cannot thank you enough. Jackie Raitt was wonderful. A very understanding lawyer and an asset to your firm.
