Home » Slips and trips
We hear from a lot of people who have fallen at Coles or Woolworths or in shops or shopping centres. Unfortunately what sometimes starts out as a simple slip or trip or fall, can lead to an injury that seriously affects you.
Owners and occupiers of property in Western Australia must take responsibility for the safely of people who are at their property. That includes making sure that floors are kept clean and safe, and that steps comply with safe standards, and that there are no unseen holes or cracks in the floor or other defects that might cause an accident.
Private property includes shopping centres, shops, gyms, sports clubs, bars and hotels, offices etc. These types of claims are often defended on the basis of ‘obvious risk’ ie: that you could have seen the problem had you been keeping a lookout. There are a lot of cases that deal with the ‘obvious risk’ problem. If you thinking of making a claim then we recommend that you contact us to chat about the Obvious Risk defence.
