Can I claim compensation for an accident in a public place that triggered an old injury back?

Hi there I had a trip and fall accident in a public place yesterday and hurt my knees, they are both grazed and bruised and was really swollen yesterday, I fell On the tarmac footpath in the local park but it was raised and split like a hump in the footpath.

I tripped and fell over this raised hump in the tarmac as I was walking my son home from school yesterday, my feet just went from under me and I landed on my knee.


I have pics of the crack in the broken concrete where I tripped and of both my knees where they are grazed and bruise and a bit swollen as photographic evidence on my phone.

The accident triggered an existing injury, I have arthritis in my knees anyway and after seeing my GP and letting the doctor take a look at them I'm due to have another steroid injection in my knee and they are very painful.

Can I claim compensation for an accident in a public place that triggered an old injury back?

Could I sue the local council for negligence because I tripped on a broken footpath & injured knees?

Is this a no win No fee company
