Slips, trips, and falls from any height and in any location, whether in a Inner West workplace, supermarket, shop or street, can easily result in short or long-term injuries and even be fatal.  Slips, trips and falls often cause severe injuries at work in NSW, second only to hazardous manual tasks, both of which contribute to musculoskeletal disorders.

If you’ve sustained a slip and fall injury in an incident or accident, whether in Inner West, Sydney or elsewhere in NSW, you may be eligible to claim various amounts of Public Liability insurance compensation for damages. If you are successful, this compensation can cover any of the legal, medical or hospital costs associated with your slip and fall injuries.  You may also be eligible to make a claim for pain and suffering.

Slip Trip and Fall Hazards

Slips often occur when there isn’t enough friction or traction between a person’s footwear and the surface they are traversing.

Trips cause accidents when the person’s foot hits an unseen obstruction or if their foot makes contact with a soft surface and loses their balance or gets caught up in a cord or rope.

Falls can occur because of the above-mentioned slips or trips or if the floor or surface a person is stepping onto collapses or moves. This often happens when a person is descending from a height and results in them crashing to the ground, causing serious injury.

If you have had a slip, trip or fall accident in Inner West, call PK Simpson today to talk to a lawyer about lodging a Public Liability insurance claim for compensation.

Common Risks Inside Inner West Buildings

Many people fail to realise the dangers of slip-fall accidents inside buildings in Inner West and right across Australia. For instance, uneven flooring, changes to floor covering styles from carpet to tiles, or sloping surfaces are hazardous. If a surface is poorly maintained, slippery due to the wrong cleaning products, or spills are not cleaned up promptly, they can pose a danger to the unwary. Public Liability Insurance should be in place to cover an unexpected claim.

Floor spills in Inner West shops, supermarkets and buildings where people access services etc., can include water, oil or grease, paper or dust. Trip-fall hazards also include a lack of space, a cluttered aisle, areas not appropriately lit, and inadequate warning signs for steps and edges. Loose floor rugs, cords and cables are risky as well.
