About Public Liability Claims 

If you have suffered an injury due to an accident that occurred in a public place, you may be entitled to compensation. Public liability claims can be made for injuries sustained in a variety of settings, including shopping centres, construction sites and Council premises. 

In order to be successful, a public liability claim must prove that the accident was caused by the negligence of the owner or occupier. Negligence can be defined as a breach of duty of care. A duty of care is a legal obligation to take reasonable steps to prevent harm to others. In the context of public liability claims, the duty of care is owed by the owner or occupier of the premises to the visitors to the premises. 

There are a number of factors that can contribute to a finding of negligence in a public liability claim. These factors include: 

• The condition of the premises 
• The lighting 
• The signage 
• The supervision of the premises 
• The training of the staff 

If you have been injured in a public place, it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible. A lawyer can help you to determine if you have a valid public liability claim and can help you to recover the compensation you deserve. 

Here are some examples of public liability claims: 

• A customer who slips and falls on a wet floor in a supermarket 
• A worker who is injured by a falling object on a construction site 
• A child who is injured in a playground due to a faulty piece of equipment 

If you have been injured in a public place, don’t hesitate to reach out for a free consultation to assess your case’s eligibility for compensation. Successful claims may cover medical expenses and past or future wage losses, depending on the specific circumstances.  

We also handle other types of claims, including
