Accidents in public places
If you have been injured as a result of an accident which happened in a public place, you might be able to bring a public liability claim.
Public and private organisations owe a duty of care to you to ensure that you are reasonably safe in using their premises.
Common examples of cases involving accidents in public places that we have covered are:
- Tripping on an uneven pavement
- Accident’s that happen in private properties
- Slipping on snow or ice as a result of gritting procedures
- Accidents in play grounds
- Slipping on a wet floor in a supermarket, shopping area or public place
- Injury in a public place as a result of a falling object
- Accidents involving potholes causing injury to motorists and pedestrians
Who can claim?
We are able to act on behalf of any individual who has been injured in a public place which is not their fault.
What does it cost?
Our personal injury lawyers are able to offer a no win, no fee agreement which means just that. If you win the case, the insurance company that insure the building where your accident happened or the local authority in the case of a tripping accident will pay your costs. If you lose the case, you don’t pay anything. You really have nothing to lose!
In some instances, you may have the benefit of legal expenses cover on your car, home or credit card insurance which means that we will be able to act on your behalf with the benefit of that policy, again, at no extra cost to you.
