More About Public Liability Claims

If you’ve been injured in a public or private space due to unsafe conditions, you may be entitled to compensation. Here's what you need to know:

Act Within Legal Timeframes

There are strict time limits for making a claim. Early legal advice helps ensure you don’t miss your window.

Proving Negligence

You’ll need to show the property owner or occupier failed to take reasonable care, leading to your injury.

Compensation You May Claim

You may be entitled to payments for medical bills, lost income, pain, suffering, and future care needs

No Win, No Fee

We don’t charge unless your claim is successful. That means no upfront legal fees and no risk to you.

Gathering Strong Evidence

Photos, medical reports, witness statements, and incident records all help prove your claim. We handle this for you.

Handling Denials & Disputes

Property owners or insurers may deny fault—we deal with their lawyers so you don’t have to.
