Accidents in Public Place

Accidents can occur in countless ways—whether you slip on a wet supermarket floor, trip over a broken paving stone on the high street, or encounter hazards in a poorly maintained park. Children are also at risk if playground equipment isn’t properly looked after or safety measures aren’t in place. In each of these situations, councils, businesses, and property owners are responsible for ensuring public areas remain free from preventable dangers.



When these obligations are not met, injuries can range from minor cuts and bruises to serious, life-altering conditions, with children often at greater risk. If you or your child has been harmed in a public space due to someone else’s negligence, you may have a strong basis for a compensation claim.

Our approachable legal team understands how stressful and unsettling it can be to deal with medical treatments, missed work, and caring for an injured loved one. That’s why we offer a no win, no fee service—reducing the financial strain so you can focus on recovery. We guide you through each step of the claim, ensuring you know your rights and feel fully supported.

If you believe you have a claim, please get in touch. We’re here to help you seek the compensation you deserve and move forward with peace of mind.
