What is a Public Liability Claim?

Information about Public Liability Claims

If you have an accident or suffer a personal injury whilst on public property, which was not your fault, then you may be entitled to make a personal injury compensation claim.

The person or company owning or being responsible for maintaining the public area should have taken out a public liability insurance policy to compensate members of the public for any injury they sustain whilst on the property caused by their negligence; therefore your personal injury claim for compensation will be made against that insurance policy.

If your accident occurred on public property during the course of your employment you may have a claim against your employer depending on the circumstances.

If you have suffered an injury after being involved in an accident in a public place, contact us and we will be able to let you know if you are entitled to make a public liability compensation claim.

What should I do now that I have had an accident in a public place?

Action to take after your Public Liability Injury

To make a successful public liability compensation claim, you would need to prove that another person was responsible for your personal injury (in this case, the owner of the property where your accident happened).

To help your case, you should report the accident to the staff or owner at the time, make a note of your accident in the accident book if possible, take names and addresses of witnesses to the accident and if possible take photographs of the area where the accident happened. In cases involving badly maintained pavements, it would be advisable to put a ruler or a coin such as a 10p or 50p piece standing upright beside the defect before you take the photograph to give an idea of depth / height.

If you are intending to claim expenses as part of your public liability compensation claim such as prescription costs and travelling expenses, remember to keep receipts as evidence.

If you have been injured following an accident in a public place you may be able to make a public liability compensation claim.  contact us for free expert legal advice.
