Accidents at Work.
Trips, slips and falls at work are commonplace and there exists a raft of legislation aimed at preventing falls from height, tripping on debris left on office or factory floors and slipping on spilt liquids. Employers who fail to look after the health and safety of their employees will inevitably be found to be negligent in any action for compensation if there is any doubt about whether or not they have supplied a safe system of work for employees to use. Employers will also be found liable for the negligent acts of co-workers. Staff who work away from the employers premises are also covered.
Pavements and Roads.
There is a duty to maintain roads and pavements and a claim for compensation for an accident will succeed if the road is in a dangerous condition which was due to a failure to adequately maintain the road. The test of whether or not a road or pavement is dangerous is one of reasonable foresight of harm to users of the highway and the authority can escape liability if they have a reasonable program of inspection and maintenance. What is reasonable depends on the location.
Private And Public Property
Liability for personal injury compensation attaches to the occupier or in some cases the owner of property which may include homes, gardens, hotels, shops, places of employment and any privately owned land or building. The occupier must take reasonable care, to ensure that any invited visitor will be reasonably safe. An accident due to something being on the floor may be the liability of the occupier even if it was left there by another person.
