Tripping and slipping cases have become increasingly important for those involved in helping clients seek redress for this common form of accident. It is an area of law and practice that is not the preserve of the specialist in personal injuries, but affects many practitioners undertaking general civil litigation. Under judicial pressure not to waste costs, lawyers undertaking the work need a practical summary of the law to help in the risk assessment process and in the course of the action. This book aims to provide such a text, picking out the relevant features of the law and describing how they operate in practice.
