Our Public Liability claims lawyers have decades of experience in handling difficult cases and understand the unique ins and outs of Public Liability claims.
We understand that these incidents can cause considerable stress and inconvenience, which is why we strive to ease your burden by making the legal process as simple as possible for you.
I say to my clients that three things are important. One is to get the best possible result financially, second is to get it in the shortest possible time, and third is that through your relationship with our firm you feel as comfortable as you can.
Our public liability lawyers are experts in this field, and can help you navigate the various types of compensation you may be entitled to in your claim. You may be entitled to claim for:
Some of the most common types of public liability claims that we see include slips, trips and falls in either commercial, retail or public places. Sports injuries, injuries on the water, playground accidents and assaults can also be covered by this area of the law.
Any injury which is sustained as a result of a business, local council or venue’s negligence will be considered a public liability claim. Most organisations these days are required by law to hold public liability insurance over their space or property.
Our public liability lawyers can help you understand this process further at any stage of your claim. We have a reputation in fighting for justice for everyday people.
Recovering from an unexpected accident or injury is stressful enough without adding the burden of legal fees.
That’s why we can help you get compensation in a public liability claim on a No-Win No-Fee basis. Put simply, unless your case is successful you won’t have to worry about payment.
