• Public liability claims: In 2023, slips, trips, and falls in public places accounted for 15% of personal injury claims in the UK, with Oxfordshire seeing frequent claims due to hazards like uneven pavements, wet floors in shops, or poorly maintained public spaces (HM Courts and Tribunals Service, 2023).

How we can help Oxfordshire residents

Marley Solicitors supports residents across Oxfordshire, including those in popular postcodes such as OX1, OX2, OX3, OX4, OX5, OX7, OX9, OX11, and OX14. Whether you’ve tripped on a pavement in Summertown, slipped in a supermarket in Wheatley, or fallen on a poorly maintained staircase in Iffley, we have the expertise to handle your claim. We represent clients for a range of slips, trips, and falls claims, including:

• Trips on uneven pavements, potholes, or defective walkways.
• Slips on wet or unmarked floors in shops, restaurants, or public buildings.
• Falls due to poor lighting or missing handrails on stairs.
• Accidents in workplaces caused by spills, clutter, or inadequate safety measures.
• Injuries on private property due to neglected maintenance.

Our goal is to secure compensation for general damages (pain, suffering, and loss of amenity) and special damages (medical costs, loss of earnings, and rehabilitation). We follow the Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims, gathering evidence like photographs of the hazard, witness statements, and medical reports to build a strong case. We pursue settlements through negotiation or court action if necessary, ensuring your claim is resolved efficiently and fairly.
