Slip and Fall Claims: Why Our Track Record of Success Matters

A slip in a supermarket or a trip on a broken pavement can change your life in an instant. However, proving that a third party was negligent requires more than just showing you fell it requires legal expertise and a history of winning against tough opposition.

At Nayyar’s Solicitors, we have spent years building a strong track record of success in slip and fall injury claims, holding retailers and councils accountable for unsafe environments.

Key Takeaways

• Specialist Knowledge: We understand the Occupiers’ Liability Act, which is the legal foundation for most slip and fall claims.
• Proven Results: We have successfully challenged major UK supermarkets and local authorities when they have denied responsibility.
• Evidence Experts: Our team knows how to secure cleaning logs, inspection records, and CCTV that prove a hazard was ignored.
• No Win No Fee: Our success-led model means we only get paid when you win.

What Does a “Strong Track Record” Look Like?

When searching for a firm with a successful history, you should look for one that doesn’t shy away from difficult “liability denied” cases. At Nayyar’s, our track record is built on:

• Supermarket Slips: Winning cases where spillages were left for hours without “Wet Floor” signage.
• Pavement Trips: Successfully claiming against councils for poorly maintained public footpaths and potholes.
• Workplace Falls: Ensuring employees are compensated when employers fail to keep walkways clear of debris.

How We Build a Winning Slip and Fall Case

We don’t just “file” claims; we build them. To maintain our high success rate, we focus on:

1. The 1-Inch Rule: For pavement trips, we use forensic evidence to prove a defect meets the legal threshold for a claim.
2. CCTV Recovery: We act fast to ensure footage of your fall isn’t “lost” by the property owner.
3. Witness Testimony: We track down individuals who saw the hazard before you did, proving the owner had time to fix it.

Actionable Playbook: 5 Things to Do After a Fall

To give your claim the best chance of success, follow this simple checklist:

1. Photograph the Hazard: Use a coin or a ruler next to a defect (like a pothole) to show its depth/scale.
2. Report it Immediately: Ensure the incident is in the shop’s accident book and ask for a copy.
3. Identify the “Cause”: Was it a leak? A loose rug? A broken tile? Be specific.
4. Look for Cameras: Point out any CCTV cameras to the staff so they are aware the incident was recorded.
5. Seek Medical Help: Even if you feel “fine,” some injuries (like hairline fractures) only appear days later.

FAQs

How do you prove a shop was negligent in a slip claim?
We must prove that the hazard existed for an “unreasonable” amount of time. We do this by requesting their cleaning and inspection logs to see if they were following their own safety protocols.

Can I claim for a fall on a public street?
Yes. Local councils have a statutory duty to maintain public highways. If a pavement defect is significant (usually over an inch), you likely have a strong case for compensation.
