What Is a Public Liability Claim?
A public liability claim allows you to seek compensation if you were injured due to someone else’s negligence in a public or privately managed space. This could include:
- Slips and trips in supermarkets, shops, or restaurants
- Accidents caused by uneven pavements or potholes
- Wet floor accidents without warning signs
- Falling objects or unsafe public equipment
- Injuries in car parks, gyms, parks, or leisure centres
Property owners, local councils, and businesses all have a legal duty of care to ensure public areas are safe. When they fail in that duty, you may be entitled to injury in a public place compensation.The law under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957 establishes that an occupier must take reasonable care to ensure the safety of visitors.
