Public Liability

When an accident disrupts your life, we are here to help you move forward.

Our experienced personal injury team understands that injuries resulting from accidents in public places can have far-reaching effects on both you and your family.

Whether you have experienced a fall in a shop or an injury in a public space, we will guide you through the process of making a claim while you focus on your recovery. Our dedicated team has extensive experience in securing compensation for:

• Medical treatment costs, both immediate and long-term
• Loss of earnings and future income
• Rehabilitation support
• Additional care requirements
• Travel expenses and adaptations

Understanding your claim

If you have been injured through no fault of your own, you may be entitled to compensation. We handle claims for accidents in various public spaces, including:

• Supermarkets and retail shops
• Restaurants, bars, and nightclubs
• Public car parks
• Parks and playgrounds
• Public walkways and communal areas

Types of injuries we help with

Our experienced Personal Injury solicitors handle claims across all levels of severity, including:

• Spinal cord injuries
• Brain and head trauma (adult and child)
• Orthopaedic and soft tissue injuries
• Crushing injuries
• Neurological conditions
• Burns and scarring
• Internal injuries
• Dental trauma
• Amputation
• Degloving

Time limits for making a claim

The Limitation Act 1980 states that an individual has three years from the date of an accident to start court proceedings. It is therefore important to seek legal advice as early as possible as this allows us to:

• Gather crucial evidence promptly
• Begin necessary medical assessments
• Secure interim payments where possible
• Start rehabilitation at the earliest opportunity

For claims involving children, the time limit extends to their 21st birthday, but we recommend seeking advice sooner to ensure the best possible outcome.
