Have you slipped on a floor and incurred an injury? Or are you a lawyer with a slip injury claim?

If the answer is YES and you are looking for an affordable service to Pendulum test the floors and provide a competent assessment then FloorSlip are, in our opinion, ideal candidates. In the past decade we have prepared hundreds of comprehensive and easy to understand Expert Witness Reports. All our CPR35/COPFS reports are designed for claimant, defendant, lawyers, judges and jury to easily come to terms with the events and all reports are suitably illustrated with images and diagrams for ease of understanding.

Have you had a slip injury claim made against you or your firm?

If you can prove that you have had a Floor Pendulum Test on your floors and it passed the pendulum floor slip test and the floor was properly cleaned, maintained and managed at that time, then there is a high probability of winning any floor slip accident injury claim against you.

Also, if you recently had a floor Pendulum Test and failed the test but you can genuinely show you are making every effort to correct for the issues you will also be thought of more kindly; that doesn’t mean to say you will win a claim but you will be less likely to be criminally prosecuted; see Health and Safety Offences Act 2008

IMPORTANT If you’ve had a slip or are subject to a claim and don’t know what to do next then please call FloorSlip and we can advise a course of action. But please don’t hesitate especially if you believe your floors ARE safe but someone has just slipped then an immediate Floor Pendulum Test is required to support your beliefs

Remember - Fraudulent Slip Claims are common place;

don’t be a victim, it could ruin your business

Note well - Please don’t think because a person was wearing inappropriate footwear, or inebriated or even under the influence of drugs (prescriptive or otherwise) that you are in the right – you are probably NOT if your floors are unsafe. Your floors must be safe for employees, customers and persons in your care (example – schoolchildren or patients) at ALL times.

Slip Injury Claims in the UK costs employers million of pounds per day in claims and time off sick

Floor Slip fraud claims are common and big business in some areas; by having a Pendulum Test conducted at affordable prices showing your floor is safe then persons who might try a fraudulent claim will not have ‘a leg to stand on’
