More than £2m in compensation has been paid out by a Stormont department over the course of 12 months for personal injuries occurred on public footpaths.
Mr Allen, who is a wheelchair user, said it was a particular problem for people with mobility issues. "There's various issues right across our network of footpaths that needs to be addressed by the department."Seymour Major, a partner at Paschal O'Hare Personal Injury Solicitors, said the injuries sustained can often cause "massive disruption" for his clients.
Mr Major added: "People are usually extremely angry and upset because they don't expect going about their daily business for this to happen to them." "Personal injury compensation is linked to the type and severity of injury sustained, and consequently a small number of severe injury claims concluding in a financial year can increase the overall compensation total for that year.
