Claiming Compensation For Accidents In Public Places
Every year large numbers of adults and children are injured by tripping, slipping and falling or by suffering other kinds of accidents in public places.
Public places include, shops, supermarkets, shopping centres, public parks and playgrounds, schools, colleges, public houses, hotels, sport stadiums, nightclubs, sports clubs, garages, hospitals, holiday camps, caravan sites, parks, campsites, amusements, retail outlets, building sites, trains and railway stations, buses and bus stations and fairs – the list is almost endless.
Owners or occupiers or other persons and bodies having control of public places, buildings or premises are under a duty to ensure that all lawful visitors are safe.
Similarly local authorities are under a duty to ensure pavements and public highways are in safe condition for public use. They have an obligation to inspect and maintain the roads and pavements. If they fail to do so and a person suffers injury as a result, then that person may have a claim for compensation.
If you have suffered injury in a public place and your injury was caused by the owner, occupier, or other person or body in control of the premises failing in their duty to ensure you were safe in using the premises or place; or if you were injured as a result of a defective footpath or road you may be able to claim compensation.
