Why would you need this service?

A public liability claim could be appropriate if someone is injured in public, for example:

  • If you have suffered an injury because of a fall in a shopping centre, an attack by a dog or been struck by an object dropped from a building you may be entitled to seek compensation from your injuries.  These are just some examples of injuries caused in circumstances involving a potential public liability claim for personal injury.
  • If your car has been damaged by a falling tree or your house flooded by a broken pipe you may not have been injured but you may still be entitled to get compensation for the damage caused to your car, house or other property.
  • The variety of potential claims is endless and compensation may be sought both for your personal injury or your property damage or both.
  • Wherever you have been injured or your property has been damaged by the act or omission of another you need legal advice from experienced expert lawyers who can advise you about your potential claim, its risks and potential rewards.
