Whilst entering a fish and chip restaurant I slipped on the step and broke my leg. Is the owner liable?
I was at a fish and chip restaurant and after I had ordered my food I went outside as there's not much space inside. When the food was ready I entered the restaurant again and slipped on the step. I fell over and broke my leg and have been put in plaster for six weeks. Half of the step has some kind of metal cover on it and is slippery. Is the owner liable?
On the face of it you may well be able to make a claim if the entrance to the restaurant was slippery. It would depend whether it was foreseeable that an accident might occur. I think this is something you should certainly look into and I can ask one of our legal counsellors to call you to go through your case in detail.
