On this page I have listed a complete summary to all the pages that answer the typical questions that you are likely to have before contacting an accident lawyer to start your compensation claim following a slip trip or fall on a pavement or road in the UK.
To assist your ease of use - headings are used to group pages under the part of the legal process they describe. At the end of each page I have also provided a link to the next page I recommend.
