Do I need a personal injury solicitor after a slip and fall in a shop or workplace?

A LegalEase Team Answered by

A personal injury solicitor can help assess whether the property owner or occupier may have been negligent, for example by failing to clean a spill or warn of a hazard. Keep photographs, accident reports, witness details, medical records and receipts, and report the incident promptly where possible. In England and Wales, the usual time limit for bringing a personal injury claim is three years, although exceptions can apply. Consider speaking to a solicitor regulated by the SRA, who can explain the evidence needed, likely costs and whether your circumstances support a claim.
