What Is a Public Place Accident Claim?

A public place accident claim is a legal process that allows you to seek compensation if your injury was caused by unsafe or poorly maintained conditions. Local councils, businesses, or property owners have a duty to keep public areas safe.

If they fail to repair hazards or warn visitors of risks, you could be entitled to compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and medical expenses.

Common Causes of Falls in Public Places in Naas

  • Uneven or broken pavements along city streets
  • Wet or slippery floors in shopping centres and restaurants
  • Poorly lit stairways or car parks
  • Loose tiles or damaged flooring in public buildings
  • Hazards left in walkways without warning signs
  • Ice or snow not cleared from paths in winter

Even if you didn’t report the injury right away, we can still help. Contact us for advice today.

The legal term ‘No Win No Fee’ is used to describe how solicitors take on a case where they pay the costs of the litigation.

Solicitors in who operate on this basis pay all legal costs associated with the personal injury case.

In the vast majority of cases, clients would not be in a position to fund the cost of litigation and therefore it is usual for a specialised Personal Injury/Medical and Dental Negligence law firm to operate on a ‘No Win No Fee’ basis.

It should be noted that there is no prohibition on solicitors in undertaking work on a no win no fee basis, and solicitors are perfectly entitled to offer their services on a no win no fee basis.
