Employers are obliged to make sure that there are no loose cables trailing on workplace floors which may lead to a trip hazard. Despite this, slips and trips are the leading cause of work injury in the UK, accounting for 40% of all major workplace injuries.

If your employer fails to take preventative measures against loose cabling, such as a tying and tidying cables or ensuring cabling is kept away from pedestrian walkways, and you are injured as a result of slipping or tripping, then you may be entitled to claim compensation.

The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 requires all employers to make provision to ensure the occupational safety of employees.

My solicitor Alix, was absolutely flawless and a consummate professional from the first moment, polite professionalism all the way, I was kept up to date with everything that was going on from start to finish, second time I have asked Thompsons solicitors for help and full success on both counts, absolutely different class and a cut above as was Alix, to say thank you so much doesn’t sum it up.

Outstanding Service – Efficient, Honest, and Highly Professional! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I cannot thank Rhaea Clark at Thompsons Solicitors enough for her incredible support with my personal injury claim. She handled my case on a No Win, No Fee basis, and what really stood out to me was her absolute transparency regarding fees. The billing structure was completely clear from day one, giving me total peace of mind that there would be no hidden surprises. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless. I was kept updated every step of the way, and the entire claim was resolved much quicker than I ever expected. If you need a personal injury solicitor who is efficient, honest, and delivers fantastic results, I highly recommend Rhaea Clark. Thank you for making a stressful situation so easy!
