I'm off to collect her from the hospital in an hour or so.
She doesn't do trips by halves then.

Re: NHS
Novo said his wife tripped on a curb and fell. Unless there was something there that shouldn't have been, it doesn't sound like anyone else was at fault? Sometimes an accident is just that.

Re: NHS
We have oh so many slip trip claims, 70% I would say are from out of line kerb stones.
I would get pics of every thing, obviously use a ruler then go see a claims adviser
FYI: I had a claim back in 2006 when I walked into a piece of tennis court wire that was sticking out from a tennis court fence. Obviously I should have been looking where I was going!!!! But hey 12 months later I got 1500 GBP of my housing tax back off of the Blackpool council Lol. I only grazed the side of my eye, slight bruise and was working next day

Re: NHS
I cut my teeth as a trainee lawyer on trip claims. You do need a broken paving stone, but I used to be amazed at how much would be paid out, without the need for court proceedings because the local authority almost always settled the claim. I used to have a big collection of paving stone photos. Mind you, that was forty years ago.

Re: NHS
A high kerb stone is a accident waiting to happen, the area should be reported and the offending kerb either replaced or it can be sanded flat to a level that won't break people's arms when they trip on it.
