Accident claim advice news: If you have suffered an injury after any type of accident which occurred in a public place Oakwood’s experienced fully trained solicitors can help.

Mr B from London got compensation of £1450.00 after he sustained an injury in a public space in March. He had been doing some shopping in a market when he tripped over a protruding grate in the marketplace.

Our client fell awkwardly and as a consequence he has suffered soft tissue damage and bruising. He was 43 when he sustained his injuries and he had trouble sleeping for the first few nights due to the pain he was suffering because of the fall.

The following are examples of common hazards or areas of neglect that may cause an accident in a public place:

• Defective trolleys in supermarkets; all equipment that is used by the public should be in good working order and maintained regularly. All equipment in a public place should be checked for faults and taken out of service.
• Negligence of staff in a place that is used by the public; for example if a member of staff has left a stock trolley in the path of one of the customers and it has caused them to trip over it.
• Slips due to substances on the floor that should have been marked with a sign cordoned off or cleaned up.
• Falling objects; this can happen when any products or materials have not been placed securely at height or on a shelf. Injury may occur if an object falls onto someone or into their path.

This list is not exhaustive; it is just a few examples of what we mean by negligence in a public place. If you would like Oakwood to give you accident claim advice for free our solicitors will be happy to help after an accident which was not your fault which was sustained in a public place.
