Slips, trips, and falls in Gloucestershire: The facts
Slips, trips, and falls are among the most common causes of injury in the UK. In Gloucestershire, local councils and businesses have a duty to maintain safe environments, but accidents still happen. According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), slips, trips, and falls accounted for 31% of non-fatal workplace injuries reported in the UK in 2017/2018. While specific Gloucestershire statistics are harder to pinpoint, local reports suggest hundreds of residents in areas like GL1, GL50, and GL5 suffer injuries each year due to hazards such as uneven pavements, wet floors, or workplace obstacles. These accidents can lead to serious injuries, from sprains and fractures to life-changing spinal or head injuries.
Common causes of slip, trip, and fall accidents
Accidents can happen anywhere, but some common causes in Gloucestershire include:
- Uneven or broken pavements in busy areas like Cheltenham (GL50) or Gloucester (GL1).
- Wet or slippery floors in shops, restaurants, or public buildings.
- Poorly lit walkways in rural areas like the Forest of Dean (GL14).
- Workplace hazards, such as loose cables or spills, in industrial estates around Stroud (GL5) or Tewkesbury (GL20).
If your accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, Marley Solicitors can help you claim compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and other costs.
