If you or somebody you know has suffered a personal injury as a consequence of a defective pavement or pot hole in the pavement or road, then you should seek legal services as you might be entitled to claim compensation for the wounds you have sustained.
One of the most common reasons for tripping claims is either due to raised paving slabs or cobblestones in town centers, housing estates, school or even in local parks maintained by the local council or authority.
If you have been unfortunate and this has happened to you and you wish to pursue a claim for personal injury you must take clear footage demonstrating the measurement of the depth or height of the defect.
For the defect to be assumed unsafe the depth or peak of the defect must be at least an inch, if you do not have a ruler to hand then a 50 p piece is about an in. so place this next to the defect and take a photograph and date the photograph on the back.
It would also be beneficial if you could build whether there had been any other similar accidents in the area and how long the area had been in a bad state of decay prior to your accident.
Pursing a claim for injury following a fall against the local council can be quite difficult and thus you'll need as much proof as practicable to demonstrate their carelessness so if you can provide details of any witnesses to the incident this will help and support your statement of events.
To substantiate any injury you sustain you've got to have medical proof to support any personal injury claim you may want to make Thus please seek medical information as quickly as possible after the incident and advise them as to where you sustained the injury.
To achieve success in a claim against the local council or roads agency your representative must be able to prove they were culpable for failing to maintain or fix the public path and/or road, and so will request sight of their upkeep records.
If you have been hurt in as a consequence of a trip or fall and feel you are entitled to make a claim for personal injury you should get advice as soon as possible as all legal claims are liable to time limitations.
