Public place injuries we handle
A simple slip or trip can leave you with injuries that take months to recover from. Whatever you're dealing with, we've handled claims like yours before, and we'll fight for every penny you're owed.
Wrists, hips, ankles, arms, falls on hard surfaces hit hard. These injuries mean months off work, surgery, and lengthy rehabilitation.
From mild concussion to traumatic brain injury. Hitting your head on a hard floor or pavement can affect your memory and ability to work.
Slipped discs, back trauma, and spinal damage from falls. These injuries can change your life forever and require ongoing treatment.
Torn ligaments, sprains, and strains from slips and falls. Often underestimated but can take months of physiotherapy to recover from.
Deep cuts from broken glass, sharp edges, or impact with hard surfaces. These injuries can leave permanent scarring and nerve damage.
Anxiety, loss of confidence, and fear of public spaces. The mental impact is a real injury that deserves real compensation.

Common questions
Everything you need to know about making a public place injury claim. Can't find your answer? Call us on 0333 006 8282.
If you've been injured in a public place due to someone else's negligence, like a wet floor without warning signs, broken pavement, or poorly maintained premises, you absolutely deserve compensation. Property owners, councils, and businesses have a legal duty of care to keep their premises safe. When they fail, you get hurt.
We see people struggling with medical bills, time off work, and the pain of injuries that weren't their fault. None of that should be your burden to bear alone. Call us on 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.
Any accident in a space open to the public counts, supermarkets, shopping centres, pavements, parks, restaurants, or car parks. If you slipped, tripped, or fell because the property owner failed to keep their premises safe, you've got a valid liability claim.
Compensation depends on your injuries and circumstances. Minor soft tissue injuries typically range from £1,860-£3,710, while serious fractures can be worth significantly more. You can also claim for lost wages, medical bills, travel costs, and pain and suffering on top of injury compensation.
Evidence strengthens your claim, but don't worry if you don't have everything. Report your accident to the property owner or business immediately. They must record it in their accident book. Photographs of the hazard, witness details, and medical records all help. We'll guide you through gathering what's needed.
Yes, supermarkets and shops have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. Spillages left unattended, wet floors without warning signs, and falling stock from poorly secured shelves are all valid grounds for a claim. These businesses have substantial insurance, we know exactly how to handle these cases.
You have three years from your accident date to start your claim. Don't wait though. Evidence disappears, CCTV gets deleted, and witnesses forget details over time. If you're approaching that deadline, get in touch immediately as we might still be able to help.
Public place injuries happen far more often than you'd think. In 2019/20, over 829,000 people made accident injury compensation claims across the UK. Of those, 72,587, around 8%, were specifically for public liability accidents.
These numbers prove that public place injury claims are legitimate, common, and successful.
