List of evidence to gather for a tripping claim

To gather evidence in order to make a claim for an accident involving a trip or slip, take the following steps.

Take a good‑quality colour photograph of the defect that caused your accident. Make sure the measurement of the defect is clearly shown using a ruler or tape measure.
Take another good‑quality colour photograph of the defect, this time standing further back so the surrounding area is visible.
Record the details of any witnesses who saw the accident. This should include their full name, address, and contact number.
Check whether there was any CCTV in the area. If so, try to obtain a copy of any footage that may show your accident.
After you have taken photographs, report the incident to the responsible party (for example, the council). If you report it before taking photographs, the defect may be repaired and it could become more difficult to prove your claim.
