Most personal injury claims are the result of an accident in a public place. If you have been injured as a result of an accident in a public place, such as a trip, slip or fall, or being struck by falling objects, then you could be entitled to make an accident claim to compensate you for your injuries.
The Occupier’s Liability Acts 1957 & 1984 provide rights to visitors to premises who sustain injuries as a result of failure of property owners to maintain their premises in a good state of repair and also for other injuries sustained whilst visiting premises due to actions of the premises owners, staff etc.
The responsibility for the accident will often lie with the owner of the premises or property in which the accident took place or the local authority responsible for maintaining public spaces. They have a legal responsibility known as a "duty of care" to minimise the risk of accidents and where we can prove you were injured because that duty was breached we will pursue an accident compensation claim on your behalf.
