Apparently, as many as 100 injury claims have been made since summer 2008, with 20 of those people winning compensation. This would mean that the average payout has been £2,500. Another 20 of the claims have been thrown out, whilst the majority of the leftover cases remain unresolved, as many injury claims can take up to 3 years to complete.

The payouts have ranged from as little as £40 right up to £6,500 for those who have experienced injuries from tripping over an uneven footpath or falling outside an underground station.

If you have injured yourself after tripping or falling badly on a pavement, you might be able to claim too. Call 0800 014 1629 for more information, or fill out the claims form online.
