Claims for injuries in public places
We know how sudden and shocking an accident in a public place can be. The last thing you expect is to be injured when walking down the street, in a shop, or whilst out in public. We also realise that an accident in a public area can have a serious impact on your everyday life as well as your finances.
If you’ve been in an accident in a public area, your injuries may have stopped you from being able to carry on with normal life. This can be frustrating and difficult to cope with on top of the physical pain of your injury.
You may have received reduced pay, such as Statutory Sick Pay, due to taking time off work. Along with other expenses, like medical treatment and rehabilitation, the financial pressure can leave you struggling to pay your bills or support your family.
Please don’t worry. We can help you take the steps you need to make it right and get compensation to cover the impact of your injury.

Wondering if you can claim?
Have you had an accident that resulted in an injury and it wasn’t your fault?
If you’ve been injured within the last three years, you might be able to claim compensation. If you have suffered an accident due to unsafe conditions, the injury Solicitors can help you to make a claim for compensation.
Injuries in public often occur due to business or council negligence, because it’s their responsibility to make your environment a safe space.
If your claim is successful, that means that you could receive compensation for an injury that was not your fault. The compensation you receive covers any medical expenses, loss in pay or any emotional or physical pain you might have experienced.
Who can I really claim against?
It’s easy to blame yourself for a public accident and just dismiss it as one of those things. But business owners and local authorities have a duty of care to keep you safe. If they’ve failed to do so and you’ve been hurt as a result, then they could be responsible and you may be able to make a no win no fee claim.
The owners of public premises are required by law to keep you and other visitors safe. This means they must follow health and safety regulations put in place to keep the chances of public accidents happening to a minimum.
This could include cleaning up spillages as quickly as possible and signposting when the floor is wet, keeping walkways clear of obstacles and ensuring the area is lit well enough to avoid accidents.
Likewise, the local authorities or Highways England are responsible for making sure public pavements and walkways are well maintained and safe to use. If the pavement has become cracked or there are loose paving slabs, then this can cause trips or falls, leading to a painful injury.
If a business owner or Local Authority failed in their duty of care, then you may be able to make a personal injury claim to help with your recovery and to make sure that you are not left out of pocket because of your injury.
We know it may be difficult to tell whether you are entitled to make a personal injury claim for an accident that happened in a public place. If you give us a call on 0800 975 6026 and talk us through what happened, our team of legal experts will be able to let you know if you can make a claim. But, to give you an idea before you call us, we usually advise that the accident must have been someone else’s fault, happened in the last three years and caused you an injury. To find out more about making a personal injury claim for an accident in a public place, call our Legal Team today.
What will my claim be worth?
We know that a personal injury slip or fall compensation claim can’t change the past. However, it can provide you with funds to aid your recovery and make your suffering easier to overcome. Additionally, compensation covers other damages for your injury.
In short, compensation from slip, trip and fall claims can cover the following needs:
- Loss of earnings if you can’t work due to your injury
- Private medical costs, so you can access services such as rehabilitative therapy and any necessary nursing care
- Travel expenses, such as to/from the hospital or work, if your injury keeps you from making a normal commute
- Compensation for the injuries that you have suffered in addition to all out of pocket expenses
No Win No Fee Guarantee
All our clients that we take on have a “no win, no fee” guarantee. This means that you do not pay a penny until your case has
resolved and you have recovered compensation.
