To make a slip trip or fall compensation claim Oakwood can be of assistance. We can get compensation for all the injuries you sustained in the course of your accident.

Mrs B from Warrington was 33 when she was injured in a slipping accident in a public place. She slipped on a wet floor at her local rugby club.

There had been no warning provided by the club telling her that the floor presented a slip hazard. She had not noticed the liquid on the floor until it was too late and she had fallen.

She suffered bruising and abrasions and her jaunt to the rugby club was a bit of a disaster! In the past figures have shown that slip trip and fall incidents in the workplace have shockingly cost 40 workers their lives in one year.

Also in a year over 15000 major injuries to workers have been caused by slips trips and falls and over 30000 workers have taken more than three days off work.

It is estimated that the cost to society each year for slips trips and falls is around £800 million. Health and Safety Executive figures show that slips and trips are the most common cause of major injuries in the work place in Great Britain. Most workplace deaths are caused by falls from height.

If you have suffered from a slip trip or fall and would like to make a compensation claim speak to knowledgeable lawyers at Oakwood. Oakwood are experts in the field of slip trip and fall accident claims. To find out if your claim could get you compensation our talented professional solicitors can give you advice over the phone for free.

As reported in the top section although we all laugh when a comedian falls about stage; where accidents happen in the real world people can be severely and even fatally injured. These injuries can cause lifelong difficulties for the victims and the families of the sufferer.

Oakwood understand these problems as they deal with thousands of claims each and every year and we always hold the knowledge with us that clients lives are ruined by very simple events which are often needless.

Take the case of an elderly client which we helped earlier this year; she had slipped over a defective mat. This simple mat which would have cost probably less than £100.00 to replace has left our client very badly injured and has cost the shop where it happened quite a bit of time and compensation money.

This is the type of reason that the health and safety act of 1974 had to be introduced. We are very proud that because we help our clients to claim there are probably far far fewer accidents because eventually companies see that by investing correctly they save time and money also.
