Public Liability Solicitors
The public liability solicitors at HPA Solicitors in the UK specialise in helping individuals secure compensation when they've been injured in public spaces due to someone else's negligence.
Our legal professionals handle cases where councils, businesses, or property owners have failed in their duty of care, leaving innocent people to deal with painful injuries and financial hardship.
We work relentlessly to ensure you get the compensation you deserve after suffering an accident that wasn't your fault.
Types of Public Liability Claims We Handle
Public liability claims cover a broad range of scenarios where negligence has led to injuries or damages. Below, our team of public liability solicitors outline the most common types of public liability claims we handle, ensuring you understand your rights and how we can assist in attaining a fair outcome for your circumstances.
Accidents in Public Places Claims
Slips, trips, and falls happen more often than most people realise. These types of claims are considered “accidents in public places” claims.
As experienced public liability lawyers, we handle cases involving wet floors in supermarkets, uneven pavements, poorly maintained car parks, and dangerous conditions in public parks. These accidents can produce serious injuries, from broken bones to head trauma.
Injuries in Commercial Premises
When you visit shops, restaurants, or entertainment venues, you expect them to be safe. Unfortunately, spilt drinks, damaged flooring, or inadequate lighting can lead to serious accidents. Our public liability solicitors have successfully handled numerous public liability claims involving injuries sustained in commercial properties.
Accidents in Public Transport Areas
Bus stations, train platforms, and airports see thousands of people daily. Poor maintenance, inadequate signage, or overcrowded conditions can result in accidents. Our public liability lawyers have extensive experience with transport-related injury claims.
Defective Public Property Claims
Broken pavements, dangerous potholes, faulty street lighting, and unsafe public structures pose serious risks. Local councils have a responsibility to maintain public spaces safely. When they fail, public liability solicitors, like HPA Solicitors, can help victims claim compensation for their injuries.
Understanding Your Right to Public Liability Compensation
Public liability compensation is designed to support individuals who have sustained injuries as a result of negligence in public spaces. Navigating these claims can feel overwhelming, but understanding your rights and the process is essential.
The sections below will guide you through key aspects of public liability claims, common scenarios, and how to take action to seek the compensation you deserve.
What Is Public Liability Compensation?
Public liability compensation claims are designed to cover the financial losses you've suffered due to your accident. This includes medical expenses, lost wages, travel costs for treatment, and compensation for pain and suffering. The amount depends on the severity of your injuries and how they've affected your life.
Who Is Responsible?
Property owners, businesses, and councils owe visitors a duty of care. They must take reasonable steps to ensure their premises are safe and warn of potential hazards. When they breach this duty, they become liable for any resulting injuries.
Eligibility for a Public Liability Compensation Claim
You may be eligible to make a public liability compensation claim if your accident was caused by someone else's negligence. In most cases, you must file your claim within three years of the accident date. The sooner you contact us, the better we can preserve evidence and build your case.
