Public Liability

If you feel that you have been injured as a result of an owner of a public place you may be entitled to claim compensation for the injuries you have suffered as a result.

Where you have had an accident that occurs on property open to the public this is known as a public liability compensation claim.

If you have a tripped, slipped or fallen or been hurt in a building such as a shop, you may be entitled to make a public liability claim as the shop or company have a duty of care to the customers visiting the premises.

The same would apply with a claim against the local authority for other types of accidents caused by public areas being left in a dangerous condition, such as injuries caused by falling debris, potholes in the road, defects on pavements or accidents caused by poor/faulty street lighting.

With Public Liability claims, the claim is made against the person or organisation that is deemed accountable. These organisations should have public liability insurance in place, which is there to cover any injuries they have caused (directly or indirectly) to a member of the public. We would recover your compensation monies direct from the insurers so you can rest assured that your claim should not affect the owner/authority directly.
