A perimeter fence is designed to go around an area to prevent access. Most fences are made out of single vertical metal bars which are connected at the top and bottom with a horizontal bar. Some of them have spikes on the top.

Residential perimeter fences are usually constructed of wood and some fences may be constructed out of string-like pieces of metal stretching across horizontally and vertically.

There are countless claims made each year by people who have been injured by a falling object. Frequently due to the path of the falling object injuries are sustained by the object itself the most common being head injuries. Sometimes the impact of the falling object causes the person to trip or fall. Miss C was awarded ?1600.00 in compensation when a fire extinguisher at work fell on her foot. Mr J instructed Oakwood Solicitors after a crate of cucumbers slid off a shelf in a supermarket and crushed his knee.

It doesn’t matter if the accident is due to an item falling off a shelf or due to a poorly maintained building or construction. If the victim has been injured through no fault of their own and third party liability can be proved then a personal injury claim can be made.

Oakwood’s clients receive 100% of their compensation and they don’t have to pay any legal fees if they are not at fault for the accident. The legal fees are paid by the third party.
