Can you claim for slipping on a wet floor?

It is possible to claim for slipping on a wet floor if the accident occurred due to the hotel or property owner’s negligence. If you are involved in an accident, gather as much information as possible:

• Take photos of the wet floor and the surrounding area. 
• Get the names and contact information of any witnesses. 
• Report your accident
• Seek medical attention for any injuries sustained. 

The responsible party may be held to have been negligent, for instance, if the floor had just been mopped and was not clearly designated as wet, or if there had been a leak that was not promptly fixed and created a slipping hazard, or if something has been spilt on the floor and not cleaned up.

If you’re thinking of bringing a claim for an injury you suffered from a slip and/or fall, it is strongly advised that you consult with a specialist solicitor who can advise and represent you. If you have been injured in an accident on holiday or in a hotel accident then please call 0161 813 2131 or get in touch online and we will be happy to help you with your claim. 

How much can you claim for slipping on a wet floor?

If you had an unfortunate incident and fell due to a wet floor while on your getaway, you may be eligible to seek damages. The compensation you receive may vary depending on the severity of your injury and any economic losses you incurred.

What is the highest settlement for a slip and fall?

Every case is different and pay-outs vary. The compensation can change significantly based on the details of the accident and the severity of the harm sustained. A legal professional can offer more information on possible remuneration for individual accidents.

Holiday Claims Bureau successfully won a £7000 settlement for a woman who was injured in a hotel slip on holiday in Spain, and a £30,000 settlement for Daniel, who slipped on a wet staircase in an Egyptian resort. 

A person or organisation that acted negligently while under legal obligation to take precautions and caused hurt or injury to a person may be held liable for the damages that ensue. As a result, the victim may bring a claim for personal injury against the party at fault.

Are slip and fall cases hard to win?

Since it is frequently the burden of the claimant to establish that the defendant was negligent in some way and that this negligence was the cause of the claimant’s injuries, slip and fall claims can be challenging to win. Therefore, it is critical for claimants to be aware of the legal requirements to make a claim and  to make sure they gather the required proof in order to present a strong case.

At the Holiday Claims Bureau, our expert solicitors have a great deal of expertise managing slip and fall claims. Our solicitors can assist you in making the strongest possible claim for financial compensation for your suffering, medical costs, ruined holiday and lost wages.

How do you prove negligence in slip and fall injury cases?

You must be able to demonstrate that the owner of the property owed you a duty of care to keep the area safe, and that failure to do so caused your injuries in order to establish negligence in a slip and fall injury case.

You would have to show that the person at fault was aware of—or should have been aware of—the risk that led to your fall and that they disregarded it by failing to take appropriate action.

To back up your allegation, you might need to collect proof including pictures depicting the danger, statements from witnesses, and expert testimony. Keep any pertinent paperwork, including accident reports and medical records, as they can be used as proof of your injury and the circumstances leading up to it.
