Public Liability

Public accidents often occur when safety measures are neglected, such as slipping in a supermarket due to unaddressed hazards. In such cases, the owner may be liable for your injuries, and you could be entitled to compensation. For accidents in public areas like streets or parks, the local council is typically responsible, and you may also have grounds to claim.

Accidents in the public occur all the time when the sufficient steps to ensure public safety have been ignored, for example tripping/falling/slipping in a supermarket because of a spillage which should have been cleaned or stock that should have been removed. When an accident has occurred in a supermarket or shop then the owner is responsible for your injuries and you may be entitled to claim compensation.

Accidents occurring in public places such as streets or in parks etc are the responsibility of the council and in such circumstance the injured person may be entitled to claim compensation.

If you have sustained an injury in a public place then contact us as soon as possible so we can asses the chances of you claiming for compensation.
