If you've suffered a personal injury as the result of an accident in a public place, you may be entitled to claim compensation. Accidents in public commonly take the form of slips, trips and falls, but may entail both psychological and psychological stress.
When can I claim for an accident in a public place?
Claiming compensation for an accident which occurred in a public place can be complicated, and you may need to seek legal advice. In order for your claim to be successful, you will need to prove that your accident took place as the result of the negligence of another party. The owner or the organisation/business that have control of a public place are legally obliged to ensure the safety of all visitors to any area of the property under their control and to ensure appropriate measures are taken to prevent accidents.
Accidents in public places which result in a personal injury may also result in a certain amount of mental anguish as well as immediate physical suffering. The compensation you receive for your accident should reflect both aspects of your suffering.
