Trips – Road Works

Here at Russell Worth solicitors we see what is perhaps a surprising number of trip and falling cases caused by road works including:-

Electricity works

Gas pipe repair/installation

Telephone and cable

Water maintenance and sewage works

It is an everyday sight, roadworks of one form or another either on the pavement or on the road itself. Most of the time the workers carrying out the work will do so professionally and properly, ensuring that the site is safe and secure and that all of the debris is cleared up properly once the work is done – most of the time, but unfortunately not all of the time.   

At Russell Worth solicitors we have helped clients recover the compensation they deserve if they have been injured due to:-

1. Falling or tripping due to inadequate lighting/warning of ongoing work during the night.
2. A lack of barriers or broken barriers around work sites.
3. Portable signs blocking pathways.
4. Debris left discarded after work has been completed.

We can track down who was responsible for the work and bring a claim against them on a no win no fee basis. 

As we always tell clients at Russell Worth solicitors, the sooner you contact us the easier it is for us to help you. That is especially true when it comes to claims of this nature. Ideally, we want to be able to visit the accident site ourselves and see what caused the problems. If the works have already finished and moved on we may still be able to obtain CCTV footage of the site or speak to local residents/business owners who may be able to confirm that the area was not well looked after.
