Making an Accident Compensation Claim - Accidents in Public Places

Public accident compensation claims

Every year in the UK thousands of people are in a position to make an accident claim after being injured in a public place. Trips and falls account for around half of all these injuries, mainly on public footpaths and pavements or on wet floors in public spaces. The knock-on effect is often serious injury and ongoing discomfort or even disability, all of which can be compensated for when an accident claim is pursued and liability can be proved.

About claims for accidents in public places

The potential for accidents is all around us, but we can’t put our lives on hold. However small, there is a chance we could be hurt in public, or that our children may be injured: in a fall, in a playground, by falling masonry…the risk is there, but so is the legal duty of care that should protect us from harm. Where we can prove you were hurt because that duty was breached, we’ll pursue an accident claim for compensation.
