Public Liability Claims Solicitors in Blackpool
Helping You Claim Compensation After an Accident in a Public Place
If you’ve been injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault while in a public place, you may be entitled to compensation through a public liability claim. These claims arise when an individual, business or organisation fails in their duty to keep people safe.
At Barker Booth & Eastwood Solicitors, our experienced injury claims solicitors in Blackpool have been helping injured clients across the Fylde Coast and North West recover compensation for decades.
What Is a Public Liability Claim?
A public liability claim can be made when you are injured due to unsafe conditions or negligence in a place accessible to the public, such as:
-
Shops and supermarkets
-
Pubs, clubs and restaurants
-
Shopping centres
-
Pavements and public highways
-
Car parks and public buildings
If a property owner, occupier, contractor or local authority failed to take reasonable steps to prevent injury, they may be legally responsible for the harm caused.
Examples of Public Liability Accidents
Accidents can happen in many ways. Common examples include:
-
Falling objects, such as signs or stock in shops
-
Obstacles left on pavements or walkways
-
Poorly maintained flooring or loose paving slabs
-
Inadequate lighting in public areas
-
Unsafe temporary works or building materials left unattended
Our solicitors have successfully handled virtually every type of public liability accident, securing compensation for injuries, loss of earnings and other out-of-pocket expenses.
