Taking your children to a playground, recreation ground, adventure park, skateboard park, trampoline park should be an enjoyable and memorable experience, however, sometimes it’s memorable for all the wrong reasons and can result in a serious injury. We see many adults and children who are injured as a result of poorly maintained or faulty equipment.
It is estimated that there are around 40,000 injuries to children in playgrounds each year which result in a visit to a hospital.
If you or your child is injured in a playground accident or adventure park or trampoline park , the Playground Manager or Adventure Park Owner (usually the local authority) or the business owner if it is a private park such as a trampoline park can often be sued for negligence, especially if it can be proven that they have failed to take reasonable precautions against accidents or that they have not ensured their equipment is safe.
Our Personal Injury Solicitors are experts in dealing with these claims and can help you get access to support, medical treatment and rehabilitation as well as ensuring you get the compensation you deserve.

We're rated‘Excellent’
The owner of manager of a public playground has a duty of care to those who use it. This is to ensure that the equipment is safe, it’s maintained, and they are providing a safe and secure environment for children to play. In order to ensure that this is being done there should also be regular checks to make sure it is up to standard. If they fail to do this and there is an accident as a result, then there may be grounds to claim compensation.

This is the first thing to do if you want to make a claim. Our team has specialist knowledge to help you through the process and assess whether you have a claim for compensation.
If we think you have a strong case, we will contact the Playground Manager and their insurance company. They are legally obligated to have Public Liability insurance to cover them for any accident claims. We will discuss the circumstances of your claim.
Next, we will gather evidence such as photos, witness reports and medical records to support your case.
They will assess your injury and create a report detailing what impact it’s having on your life.
We Will Use This Report to Establish How Much Compensation You Are Owed
If the Playground Manager admits full or partial liability for your injury, we could ask for an Interim Payment. This would release a portion of your compensation to you while your claim is being settled. This could help pay for any immediate medical attention you may need.
If the Playground Manager doesn’t accept liability, then we may have to go to Court. If this happens, we will be there to support you every step of the way.
When someone goes about their daily life, the last thing they would think about is being involved in an accident – but sadly, accidents in public places can and do occur. Public liability is the term used to summarise the duty of care in which a company that owns a public space has towards people that use it.
Tracey Richardson tripped over an indent and stone in a car park when returning to her car after work. She fell and landed on her wrist and suffered injuries to her left wrist and left foot.
Our client was visiting a hospital when she fell over on a floor causing her a fracture injury. The hospital had not taken reasonable steps to ensure their cleaning company was carrying out their work correctly, and we secured £25,000 for the client in compensation.
