Guidance of Injury Claims Solicitors for Public Liability Claims

Suffering an injury from an accident for which you were not responsible can be overwhelming. Matters are relatively straightforward if you can identify the person responsible for the accident. However, if the accident happened in a public place then the circumstances of making a claim may change significantly. In the text below Injury Claims Solicitors explain the facts surrounding public liability claims.

What is Public Liability?

Public liability is referred to when someone suffers an injury due to the negligence of another person or group. Furthermore, if the accident took place in public you are eligible for compensation. According to injury claims solicitors, the occupiers of land, buildings, shops, offices, public transport and even a home are responsible for a visitor’s safety. Slip and trips are considered as the most common public accidents and their causes range from spillages to unmaintained pavements.

How can I make a Public Liability Claim?

First of all you will need to get in touch with injury claims solicitors who specialised public liability claims. They will guide you with each step of the claims process. This will also include gathering as much evidence as you can related to your accident. This may include photos, CCTV footage and even eye-witness statements. For a successful claim, the claimant will have to prove that the local authority and owners of the building or public place were responsible for the accident.
