Compensation is awarded not only for any pain and suffering but also for loss of earnings if the victim of an accident needs to take time off of work to recover from their injuries. In some cases an injury may prevent the victim from continuing with a chosen job forcing them to change their career path.

In serious cases a victim may never fully recover from their injuries. All of these factors are taken into account when awarding compensation.

There are basic rules which must be followed to reduce the risk of slips either at work or in a public place. Failure to follow these rules can lead to an accident like Mrs S’s and the person responsible for the premises where the accident occurred will be liable for causing injury to another person.
