What Is a Slip or Trip at Work Claim?

A slip or trip at work claim is a type of personal injury claim made when you are injured because your workplace failed to keep the environment safe. Employers in Dublin have a legal duty to provide a safe working environment.

When they neglect this responsibility, accidents happen. If your injury was caused by unsafe flooring, poor housekeeping, or lack of warning signs, you may be entitled to compensation.

Common Reasons for Slips & Trips at Work Include:

  • Wet or slippery floors without warning signs
  • Loose cables or cluttered walkways
  • Poor lighting in stairwells or corridors
  • Uneven flooring, loose tiles, or damaged carpets
  • Failure to provide suitable footwear or protective gear
  • Spilled liquids or materials left unattended

The legal term ‘No Win No Fee’ is used to describe how solicitors take on a case where they pay the costs of the litigation.

Solicitors in who operate on this basis pay all legal costs associated with the personal injury case.

In the vast majority of cases, clients would not be in a position to fund the cost of litigation and therefore it is usual for a specialised Personal Injury/Medical and Dental Negligence law firm to operate on a ‘No Win No Fee’ basis.

It should be noted that there is no prohibition on solicitors in undertaking work on a no win no fee basis, and solicitors are perfectly entitled to offer their services on a no win no fee basis.
