Hello
I tripped on a public path, which the local council admitted liability to and it is still on going after nearly 2 years. I took pictures of the uneven and potholes of the path...Plus there was about 50 witnesses (as it was on a fire test at work). In result of this I had to go to hospital by ambulance and have x-rays done etc... and substained a Knee Injury...
So yes you can make a claim for compenstation, but make sure you do it with a company that don't charges loads of money and do a 'No win, no fee' state...otherwise you can end up paying loads in fees... You have to have a medical evidence to go ahead with it or you don't have a case
Good Luck
