Public Liability Accident Claims

Public Liability Accident Claims

Public liability insurance cover is a type of insurance that covers businesses and other organisations for accidents that happen on their premises. If you are injured in a public place due to the negligence of another party, you may be able to make a public liability claim.

To be successful in a public liability claim, you must prove that:

• The other party owed you a duty of care
• The other party breached that duty of care
• Your injuries were caused by the breach of duty

Some common examples of public liability claims include:

• Slips and falls on wet or uneven surfaces
• Trips and falls over objects that have been left on the ground
• Falls from stairs or other elevated surfaces
• Assaults or batteries
• Dog bites
• Injuries caused by defective equipment

In most cases, public liability claims are made on a “no win, no fee” basis. This means that you will not have to pay any legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful.

If you have been injured in a public place due to the negligence of another party, it is important to get legal advice as soon as possible. A personal injury solicitor can help you to assess your claim and advise you on the best course of action.
