The "no-win, no-fee" claims industry is fuelling a massive rise in compensation claims for slip related injury in the UK in recent years. Premium and first loss levels are soaring - one small Local Authority client of ours tells of policy excess of £100,000 in respect to claims for slips and falls.· With slips and falls costing UK industry over £500m per annum in lost production, sick pay and ancillary costs, slip prevention can positively contribute to increasing profits, as well as avoiding image-damaging claims involving the general public.
