Accidents in public occur a little too often nowadays; negligence from people such as store owners or occupiers of the property, can lead to unpleasant incidents, leading to unwanted injuries. It is the occupier’s duty of care to ensure the safety of their visitors at all times. If they fail to do this, resulting in an accident, compensation can be claimed. If you have been in an accident in public, contact our friendly and knowledgeable solicitors now.
Every owner, or person held responsible for land or property, has a duty of care to all of their visitors. They must ensure to be on top of all health and safety checks, and ensure that equipment is maintained to a safe standard. Health and Safety is no laughing matter, and owners of premises are provided with extraneous guidance to ensure that anyone who visits the property is safe. Furthermore, the staff that they employ should be provided with adequate health and safety training to uphold the standards and be aware of procedures that must be carried out.
If you have been in an accident in a public place, contact our solicitors now. Our solicitors provide free consultations, helping you determine how much compensation you are entitled to and how long the process will take.

Failing to keep their visitors safe is the biggest mistake that occupiers can make. If you have been involved in a public accident, contact us now. There are a variety of accidents that visitors can experience, such as slips, trips and falls, machinery accidents and being struck by a moving object. These accidents can result in minor and major injuries such as broken bones, cuts, bruises. It is also likely to experience severe injuries, such as head and back injuries, which can have a detrimental impact on your life for a long time, resulting in damaging changes to your daily routine.
The basis of a successful claim is providing concrete evidence. The more evidence you can provide, the more likely you are to get higher compensation for your damages. However, the first and foremost thing any individual should do when involved in an accident in public is ensuring that everyone is safe, and call any emergency services if necessary. Afterwards, we advise gathering as much evidence as remotely possible.
Don’t be scared to ask witnesses for reports, take pictures and videos of the accident, and ask to access any nearby CCTV footage. All of this evidence will help back up your claim and prove liability after your accident.
