Public Place Injury Claims – Health & Safety Compensation

Have you had an accident in a public place? If you have, you need an ally that knows public area injury claims: so, turn to the experts.

Claims for accidents in a public area are among the most common reasons people initially contact The Compensation Experts. The owner of any public place, whether it is a council-owned school or a corporate-owned shopping centre, has a duty of care to make sure they take all reasonable steps to prevent an accident. Therefore, if you have an accident on their premises, you may be able to make a public area claim.

If you have had an accident in a public place, and it was someone else’s fault, get in touch with The Compensation Experts, to see if you can make a claim.

What is a Compensation Claim for an Injury in a Public Place?

Examples of compensation claims for injuries incurred in a public area include:

  • Closing lift doors in a shopping centre crushing you
  • Slipping on a wet floor after a spillage was not cleaned up
  • Contracting an illness from an inadequately cleaned public swimming pool
  • Injuries on a construction building site
  • Falling down unsecured or dimly lit stairs
  • Tripping on uneven pavement
  • Crashing your car or bike on poorly maintained roads
  • Accidents caused by a lack of warning signs and lighting around roadworks
  • Road traffic accidents while travelling in a bus or taxi

Public Place Injury Claim Example

An example of a claim we’ve dealt with, for an injury in a public place, was a woman who slipped on packaging which had been discarded in a supermarket aisle after staff had been restocking shelves.

As a result, the claimant’s personal injury solicitor successfully obtained compensation, by claiming under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957 Act. This act states that owners of a public area need to take reasonable steps to ensure lawful visitors (i.e.: shoppers) are safe.

How to Claim

The easiest way to start a public place injury claim is to talk to The Compensation Experts. We have a team of excellent advisors who can answer your questions, find out about your individual situation, and, ultimately, give you the information you need to decide what to do next. This initial consultation is free, and so there is no obligation to continue afterwards.

If you choose to continue with your claim, we will pair you with a reputable and experienced public area injury solicitor, to give your claim every possible chance of success. They will leave no stone unturned in gathering the evidence required to prove that you were injured in a public place, that injury has affected you and, most importantly, that another party was responsible.

Once your solicitor has built the case, they will submit your request for compensation to the other party, who then has a set time to respond. They may immediately accept liability, in which case your solicitor will negotiate on your behalf until a financial settlement is agreed (with your approval), or the other party may deny responsibility. If this happens, your lawyer will submit your public area injury claim to court and continue to negotiate with the other party, with the intent of resolving the dispute before it reaches a judge. More than 90% of personal injury claims settle without going to court, so there is a strong probability that yours will too.
