Thousands of accidents happen each year in a variety of public places, such as on public transport, in public buildings, on parks or playgrounds, restaurants and shopping centres. A lot of these accidents could have been avoided had proper precautions been taken in the first place, generally speaking there will always be somebody or an organisation with which the responsibility lies to maintain a public place. If you have had an accident in a public place that you feel was due to neglect then our injury solicitors can help you to make a financial claim.

  • Debris
  • Ice (lack of grit)

If you would like more information on your specific accident then an injury solicitor well versed in accidents in public places will be available to talk to you about your claim.

How Much Could You Claim?

The amount you may be eligible to claim is dependent on the injury you have sustained through your accident. Claims could attract awards from around £1,450 to £2,600 for a lost tooth and up to £9,000 for a severely fractured ankle. Injuries that result in longer recovery times or are potentially permanent tend to attract larger awards.

Length Of Claim

All claims must be brought within 3 years of the initial accident; the length of the claim is usually dependent on the severity of the injury sustained. Simple injuries tend to be resolved quicker, whereas more serious ones tend to require extensive medical evidence and take longer to claim for.
