Local Authorities have responsibility for the maintenance of highways and pavements. Parks and play areas will often be maintained by the Local Authority.

Some examples of such accident locations are:

• Roads and pavements
• Walkways and pathways
• Parks and public gardens
• Public play and picnic areas

However, there are other public areas which are the responsibility of companies and other types of authorities. 

Other common examples of locations where accidents in a public place can happen:

• Shops
• Supermarkets
• Shopping Centres
• Car parks
• Retail parks
• Sports Stadiums
• Hospitals
• Offices
• Entertainment venues
• Restaurants

We have a great deal of experience in dealing with these types of claims.  Some examples of personal injury claims arising out of these types of accidents:

• Slips on wet or slippery floors due to spillages, improper cleaning or lack of matting.
• Slips or trips as a result of defective/uneven pavements or flooring.
• Slips or trips in a car park due to lack of gritting or defective/uneven surfaces or potholes.
• Trips on obstructions left in walkways.

We can deal with your claim on a ‘No Win, No Fee’ basis.
