Accident in a bar – how to claim?

After being involved in an accident in a bar, you may experience severe or minor injuries; no matter the case, our solicitors will ensure that you get the highest possible compensation you deserve.

If you have been involved in an accident in a bar and suffered injuries or damage due to no fault of your own; we highly advise that you contact one of our experienced solicitors at Belmont solicitors to get the compensation you deserve.  

Types of bar accidents and their causes 

As a visitor of the premises, the occupier of the land has a duty of care to ensure your safety. If they fail to keep you safe and you are involved in an accident, you are eligible to claim compensation for your damages. The occupier of the premises can be the owner, manager or the person who was held responsible for the safety of the premises.

They must carry out regular health and safety checks of the premises, carry out regular machinery maintenance checks, identify hazards and take care of them at the best possible time. If the occupier of the premises is made aware of any hazards, they must resolve the issue in a good time. For hazards such as slippery surfaces, they should display signs to inform the visitors. The most common causes of bar accidents include: 

• Slips, trips and falls. 
• Cuts from broken glass 
• Physical injuries from customers or staff
• Accidents caused by lack of maintenance 
• Food poisoning

The most common causes of accidents in bars include:

• Lack of signage of hazards 
• Failing to clean up spilt liquids 
• Failing to maintain furniture and machinery 
• Failing to comply with health and safety standards in the bar or kitchen 

If you were in an accident due to no fault of your own, we highly advise that you contact one of our experienced Personal Injury solicitors at Belmont Solicitors.
