Accidents and Injury
in Public Places Claims

What are Accidents in Public Places?

There are many types of accidents that can occur in a public place. Some of the most common public liability claims for compensation that we deal with include:

• injuries caused as a result of defective pavements, potholes, untreated ice and debris;
• slips or trips in supermarkets, restaurants, pubs, car parks and shopping centres;
• injuries following beauty treatment, such as hair loss, allergic reactions and chemical burns arising from waxing, hair dye or laser treatment;
• injuries caused by dog bites;
• injuries caused by livestock, such as horses or cows;
• accidents in schools (including horse riding schools) such as slips or trips on school premises, defective play equipment, sporting accidents and food poisoning.
