Had an accident in a public place?
If you’ve had an accident in a public place contact us to get the compensation you deserve.
If your accident in a public place was the fault of the landowner/local authority, you may be able to get compensation. This is because the law protects you from being injured in a public place. Importantly, it requires that a local authority, private landowner or occupier has proper regard for the safety of people who use their premises/land.

What should I do if I have an accident in a public place?
- Firstly, record where the accident happened.
- Secondly, be sure to take pictures as evidence. Take pictures of the cause of the accident from different angles. If you tripped on a loose paving stone, you may want to take the photo with a ruler next to the paving stone. This would show how dislodged the stone was.
- Next, you should record details of your accident in an Accident Book. If you are injured in a public place you should notify the owner and record the circumstances/details of the injuries you have suffered in their Accident Book.
- Finally, take the names and addresses of witnesses if possible. If your claim in contested, a witness statement may be invaluable.
