Miss B from Birmingham went to Oakwood to get compensation after she suffered an accident in a public place; she came to us for claim advice about her accident. She got £1250.00 in compensation.

Our client Miss B had been in a public place when her accident occurred; she was awarded compensation of £1250.00. She had been walking when her heel got caught and stuck in a hatch in the floor.

She wrenched her foot and ankle due to her shoe being trapped in this manner. She suffered some swelling and discomfort immediately after the accident and for several days afterwards.

Every occupier of land or buildings has a duty of care to the general public who visit them. It can be a home shop office train bus park or factory. Public liability is when someone hurts themselves because a third party has neglected this duty. If you can show that the third party which is the person or organisation responsible for maintaining the property or outside space has been negligent you can make a public liability claim. You may even be able to claim if you had an accident in a private home if the householder or landlord was responsible for your accident eg badly-lit steps or falling roof tile.
