A slip, trip, and fall accident claim is a type of personal injury case that allows you to seek compensation if you have been injured because a property owner, employer, or public authority failed to keep a location safe. In Moston, with its busy residential streets, local businesses, and public spaces, accidents of this kind are unfortunately quite common.

Residents report incidents of cracked pavements near Moston Lane, slips in small supermarkets, and trips over uneven flooring in older buildings. Understanding how to make a claim gives you the confidence to pursue your legal rights and recover losses.

Marley Solicitors has represented many clients in Moston and the wider Manchester area, helping them secure fair settlements while guiding them through the process step by step.

What is a slips, trips, and falls accident claim?

A slip, trip, and fall accident claim is the legal process of holding a responsible party accountable for unsafe conditions that caused your injury. This could be a shop with a wet floor that was not cleaned, a local authority that failed to repair broken paving stones, or an employer that left dangerous obstacles in a walkway.

Key examples include:

Slipping on a recently mopped floor in a convenience store without warning signs
Tripping on a pothole outside a bus stop on Lightbowne Road
Falling due to poor lighting in a residential block stairwell
Injuries caused by loose cables or cluttered corridors in a warehouse

If this sounds familiar, you may be entitled to make a claim on a no win, no fee basis.

Can I make a claim for a slip, trip, or fall in Moston?

Yes, you can make a claim if the accident happened because someone failed in their duty of care. In Moston, accidents often occur in high‑traffic areas such as Moston Lane, Broadway, or near the North Manchester General Hospital grounds. If the hazard could have been prevented with reasonable maintenance or warning, the responsible party may be legally liable.

When you contact Marley Solicitors, we will review the facts, advise on your prospects of success, and explain every step of the process in plain language.

How to start your claim after an accident

Taking the right steps immediately after an incident can make a real difference:

Get medical attention – Visit your GP or the A&E department at North Manchester General Hospital. Your medical records will form important evidence.
Report the accident – Notify the shop manager, employer, or council responsible. Request that they record the incident in their accident book.
Gather evidence – Take photographs of the hazard, keep receipts for expenses, and note down the contact details of any witnesses.
Speak to Marley Solicitors – Early advice ensures deadlines are met and your case is handled correctly from the start.

Local context and common hazards in Moston

Certain areas of Moston present particular risks. Marley Solicitors has handled cases arising from:

Crumbling kerbs outside small retail units on Moston Lane
Spillages not promptly cleared in local supermarkets
Damaged flooring in community halls and churches
Inadequate lighting in housing association properties
Obstructions in delivery depots and workshops

By understanding these patterns, we can quickly identify who was responsible and build a strong argument for compensation.

What compensation can you claim?

The value of your claim depends on your injuries and their impact on your life. Typical elements of a settlement include:

General damages – for pain, suffering and loss of amenity
Special damages – such as lost earnings, travel expenses, and medical costs
Future care or rehabilitation – physiotherapy or occupational therapy if required

For example, someone who sprains an ankle may receive a smaller award than someone who fractures a hip and needs months of treatment. We will calculate everything in detail and pursue the maximum available compensation.

Time limits for claims

Under UK law, you usually have three years from the date of the accident to start your claim. If you were under 18, the three years start from your 18th birthday. Evidence is often easier to secure soon after an accident, so do not delay seeking advice.
