Your local highway authority or the owner of a piece of land that you visit is legally responsible for the maintenance of their stretch of road, building or land. They have a duty to take reasonable steps to try to prevent accidents from occurring, such as having systems of inspection, cleaning, repairing and a complaints process.
Cycling UK has reported that 156 Local Authorities spend total of £43.3 million on pothole claims. Your Council, Local Authority and the Highways Agency are responsible for maintaining the standards of the roads we use.
We want to make the claims process as easy as possible for you. Here is the process in 6 easy steps.
We’ll talk to you about your accident in more detail, find out about your injuries and how they’ve affected you. We’ll tell you if you have a compensation claim and how we can help you.
They will manage your claim. They’ll keep you up to date on your claim, and support you throughout the whole claims process.
We’ll find out who it is and get in touch with their insurance company. We’ll ask them to admit responsibility, also known as liability, for your accident. Most businesses and public bodies have public liability insurance in place to deal with accident claims.
We’ll pull this together and it could include witness statements, independent medical expert evidence and, if possible, photographs of where the accident happened and CCTV footage.
Either completely or partially, we could ask for an interim payment to help pay for any urgent medical treatment, rehabilitation or financial pressures. You won’t need to wait for your claim to be settled to get the support you need.
We’ll push to get you the best amount of compensation. Once your claim is settled, we’ll get the money to you as quickly as possible.
Most accident in a public place claims can be funded through a No Win, No Fee agreement, known as a Conditional Fee Agreement. Please ask us for details.
You have three years from the date of your accident to make a claim. But, we recommend you get specialist legal advice as soon as possible. This often makes it easier to get supporting evidence for your claim, such as witness statements, photos and CCTV footage.
A public place is anywhere that can be accessed by the general public. This includes parks, shops, pavements, roads or restaurants.
There are many different organisations that could be responsible for them. This includes councils, property owners and businesses. All of these organisations must take reasonable steps to make sure they’re safe. For example, local authorities are responsible for the upkeep of roads and pavements. As part of their duty of care, they must regularly inspect them and maintain them so they are in good condition. These duties can help us to understand who is responsible for your accident.
Common accidents in public places include:
It’s not always immediately obvious who is responsible for accidents that happen while you’re out and about. That’s why it’s so important to get specialist legal advice from a Personal Injury Solicitor.
We regularly track down the organisations responsible for injuries to our clients, and we’ll do all we can to help you get the best outcome possible for your compensation claim. Even if you’re partly to blame for your accident, we could still help you claim compensation.
