Personal Injury - Accidents in Public places

If you have been injured in an accident in a public place, which was not your fault, you can claim compensation for injuries and expenses incurred as a result of the accident, including loss of earnings.

Public places can include the highway (road and pavements), parks, playgrounds, shops, shopping centres, and buildings.

BRM Solicitors have won hundreds of cases for people who have slipped, tripped or fallen on uneven or defective ground or due to obstacles and dangerous objects being left in public thoroughfares.

If you have hurt yourself and have been injured in a public place, it will help your solicitors in any claim for compensation if you can:

• Get details of any witness(es) to the accident
  
  
• Take photographs of the scene of the accident, for example, if you have tripped on a broken pavement, take a picture of the defect in the pavement aswell as the surrounding road (a mobile phone camera should be adequate if you can't access a camera)
