Someone should have kept it safe

Specialist accident in a public place solicitors

Shops, supermarkets, councils and other occupiers owe you a legal duty under the Occupiers’ Liability Act to keep their premises reasonably safe. A wet floor with no warning sign, a broken paving slab or an unlit stairwell can all give rise to a public liability claim. We prove the hazard, pursue the responsible party’s insurer, and recover what you’re owed — on No Win No Fee.

Your questions answered

Public place accident claims — your questions

Can I claim for an accident in a public place?+

Yes — if the occupier (a shop, supermarket, council or other business) failed to take reasonable care to keep the place safe and you were injured as a result, you can make a public liability claim. The key is showing the hazard should have been dealt with.

What evidence do I need?+

Photos of the hazard, the accident report or book entry, names of any witnesses, and details of your injury and treatment all help. Don’t worry if you don’t have everything — we know what to gather and how.

How long do I have to claim?+

Usually three years from the date of the accident. Claims against councils can involve strict notice procedures, so it’s best to get in touch early.

Is a public place accident claim No Win No Fee?+

Yes. We handle public liability claims on a No Win No Fee basis — nothing upfront and nothing to pay if your claim doesn’t succeed.

Can I claim against the council for a pothole or pavement trip?+

Often, yes — but councils have a defence if they can show a reasonable inspection and repair system. We know how to test that defence and when a council claim is worth pursuing.
