Trips and Slips
If you have been injured as a result of tripping over a raised paving slab or other defect in the footpath or other public place then you may be entitled to compensation.
In
order to succeed in a claim for damages it is necessary to show that the defect
presented a "tripping hazard". The guidelines suggest that the defect has to
measure at least one inch and it is also necessary to show that the defect had
been present for some time and should have been detected by the local authority
during the course of their regular inspections.
