Accident in a Public Place Claims

 

If you have had an accident in a public place (such as a shop, restaurant, supermarket or shopping centre) and have suffered an injury, which wasn’t your fault, you may be able to make a claim for compensation.

Those who have control of a particular place are under a duty to inspect and maintain it so visitors are safe.

At Ringrose Law our personal injury lawyers have years of experience of representing people who have had an accident in a public place.

We will work hard to ensure that you receive the maximum amount of compensation, and help you with your recovery process.

What are the common causes of an accident in a public place?

Common causes of an accident in a public place include:

  • Tripping hazards inside the premises or surrounding area
  • Failure to warn of hazards by way of signs or other methods
  • Uneven flooring
  • Liquids or debris on the floor
  • Ill maintained premises
  • Poor and inadequate lighting

If you accident does not take place in the premises but happens in a surrounding area (such as a court yard or car park) you may still have an accident in a public place claim.

Accident in a public place – What can I claim for?
