01 / YOUR SITUATION

Slips, Trips & Falls solicitors
in Belfast.

A fall in a shop, on a walkway or at other premises can have consequences well beyond the day of the accident. Understanding the location and cause is an important part of considering whether there may be a claim.

Accidents in public places, shops and other premises can cause lasting problems. We help clients understand the legal questions around responsibility and potential claims.

02 / FOCUSED SUPPORT

The details can make a difference.

We look at the circumstances of the fall, the condition you believe caused it and the information available about the area. Photographs, reports and witness accounts can help explain what happened. We also discuss your treatment and the effect of the injury on your daily life.

  • Accidents in shops and other premises
  • Falls involving surfaces, obstacles or spillages
  • Photographs and information about the location
  • Reporting the accident and gathering records
  • Advice on a potential personal injury claim
03 / BEFORE WE TALK

A useful starting point.

You do not need to have everything ready before making contact. If available, the following information can help us understand your enquiry:

  • The date and exact location of the accident
  • Photographs of the area, if available
  • Any incident report or correspondence
  • Witness details and information about your treatment

Mention any approaching dates when you call. For an urgent matter, telephone the office rather than relying on email.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Questions about getting started.

Every matter is different. We can discuss the details of your situation when you get in touch.

Ask us a question
01Can you consider an enquiry if I do not have photographs?

Explain what happened and what other information is available. A report, correspondence or a witness account may also help establish the circumstances. We can discuss the information needed to consider the matter further.

02What happens at the first appointment?

We discuss your circumstances, review the information available and identify the questions that need attention. It is also an opportunity to ask about the proposed work, communication, likely next steps and costs before deciding how to proceed.

03How will costs and funding be discussed?

Ask about costs at the outset. The proposed arrangement will depend on the nature and scope of the work and your circumstances. We can discuss the basis of the work and any relevant funding questions before you instruct us.
