Common injuries
Even a seemingly minor slip, trip and fall can leave you with injuries that take months to recover from. Whatever you're dealing with, we've handled claims like yours before.
Wrists, ankles, hips, and arms, a hard fall on a shop floor or pavement can easily cause fractures that need surgery and months of recovery.
Hitting your head on a hard floor or falling object can cause concussion or traumatic brain injury, affecting memory and concentration.
Slips and falls can cause lasting back pain, disc injuries, and spinal damage that may permanently affect your mobility and quality of life.
Twisted ankles, torn ligaments, and knee damage from uneven surfaces or wet floors. These injuries often require lengthy rehabilitation.
Falling on broken glass, sharp edges, or rough surfaces can leave deep cuts and painful bruising that may require stitches and scar treatment.
Anxiety about going out, fear of public spaces, sleepless nights. The mental impact is a real injury that deserves real compensation.

Common questions
Everything you need to know about making a public liability claim. Can't find your answer? Call us on 0333 006 8282.
If someone else's negligence caused your accident, a wet floor in a shop, a broken pavement, or poorly maintained premises, you absolutely deserve compensation. As a member of the public, you rely on property owners to keep their spaces safe. When they fail, you shouldn't pay the price.
We see people struggling with medical bills, time off work, and the stress of an injury that wasn't their fault. None of that should be your burden. Call us on 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.
You absolutely can claim if you slipped on a wet floor, spilled goods, or any other hazard the shop should have addressed. The business has public liability insurance specifically for these situations, so you're claiming from their insurer, not affecting the shop owner personally.
Compensation varies depending on your injuries and circumstances. Head injuries typically range from £2,070-£379,100, while back injuries causing permanent symptoms range from £11,730-£85,470. You can also claim for lost earnings, medical bills, and rehabilitation costs on top of injury compensation. Use our compensation calculator for a quick estimate.
The business's public liability insurance company pays your compensation, not the business owner personally. Every responsible business carries this cover because they know accidents happen, that's exactly what the insurance is for.
We go straight to the business itself and make them pay directly. No insurance company to complicate matters means we take your claim directly to whoever caused your accident and demand they pay what you're owed.
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 liability accidents remain a significant problem in the UK. In 2019/20, there were over 829,000 accident injury claims, with more than 72,000, over 8%, involving slips, trips, falls and other public liability incidents.
These numbers highlight why it's so important to claim compensation if you've been injured in a public place through someone else's negligence.
