While efforts are made to keep public places like streets, shopping centers, parks, gyms, and schools safe, accidents can still happen. If you were injured in a public place, you may be entitled to compensation. Whether your accident was due to the negligence of the local authority or the owner responsible for maintaining the premises, we can help.
For example, if you were injured in a supermarket because you slipped on a wet floor, you may be able to claim against the supermarket. In these cases, we need to show that the business or local authority either failed to have a proper safety procedure in place or did not follow their own procedure. It’s important to gather full details of anyone you spoke to at the time of the incident and note the address of where the accident occurred.
