Have you suffered a trip, slip or fall on a public highway or in a public place?
The Council is under a duty to maintain pavements and public highways for public use. Many serious injuries, particularly fractures, can arise from failure to fulfil that duty. Circumstances include:
- Falling due to a defective pavement
- Injuries to motorists, cyclists and motorcyclists due to potholes in the road
- Tripping over raised paving stones or missing kerbstone
