Slips, trips and falls are a frequent cause of injury in public places, workplaces and private premises. Evoque Medical provides access to medical experts who assess the injuries arising from these accidents and prepare clear, independent reports for solicitors, insurers and medical agencies.

From minor sprains to serious fractures and head injuries, the right medical evidence depends on the nature of the injury. Evoque Medical identifies the appropriate expert and manages the instruction so the report accurately reflects the claimant’s condition.

About Slip, Trip and Fall Reports

Slip, trip and fall accidents, often referred to as public liability or occupiers’ liability claims, can result from hazards such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting or obstructions. The injuries that follow vary widely, from soft-tissue strains and bruising to fractures, dislocations, head injuries and lasting orthopaedic damage.

A medico-legal report for a slip, trip or fall claim documents the injuries sustained, examines their relationship to the accident, and provides a prognosis for recovery. Depending on the injuries, the assessment may be carried out by a general practitioner, an orthopaedic specialist or another appropriate expert.

Although the legal question of liability turns on the duty owed by the occupier, the medical evidence focuses squarely on the injury: what was sustained, whether it is consistent with the described mechanism, and how the claimant is likely to recover. A clear, consistent medical opinion strengthens the claim and helps the parties assess it realistically.
