fall over an uneven paving slap or kerb.

and often damage to the hands and wrists caused trying to stop the fall.
Many people will blame themselves if they trip over a pavement and decide not
to pursue a claim, however the Council have a duty to ensure that they are
safe and that these type of accidents are prevented.
