It is the responsibility of the local council or highways agency to ensure that public footpaths are well maintained and free from hazards. If the responsible organisation has failed to maintain a public walkway, which resulted in an accident occurring, the victim is legally entitled to make a claim for compensation if they sustained a personal injury in the incident.

Crumbling pathways present a number of hazards to members of the general public, especially to the elderly or infirm.

A number of different injuries can be sustained in the event of a victim falling due to a poorly maintained public footpath. The injuries sustained can range from broken bones and severe lacerations to head injuries and brain damage.

Slip and Trip Claims Solicitors has taken on numerous cases against local councils and major highways agencies on behalf of those who have sustained a personal injury due to falling on a crumbling pathway. We have had great success with the majority of cases we have pursued against councils and highways agencies.

Taking photographs of the hazard will mean you have the evidence needed to prove that the crumbling footpath was the direct cause of your injury.
