Accidents in public places

re injured in a public place be it a shop, school, hotel or outside in the road or pavement then we can help you claim compensation for your injuries. Owners and/or occupiers of premises (and in the case of roads/pavements the relevant public authority) have a duty to ensure that they have done everything that is reasonably practicable to ensure you are safe – if they do not and you are injured as a result you may have a claim.

If you have tripped over a defect in the road or pavement you should try and take photographs of where you fell, if possible showing the measurements of the defect. If possible take names and addresses of any witnesses to your accident. You should also report your accident to the person responsible.

We can advise on all aspects of your accident claim whether it be minor cuts and bruising as a result of your fall or a more severe personal injury. We have advised numerous clients in claims for compensation for accidents in public places and have won substantial awards for many of our clients.
