Public Places
Companies have a duty to ensure your safety whenever you enter their premises; this is the same with public bodies such as councils and local authorities. Most injuries that happen in a public place can often be avoided, so if you have suffered an injury, then you may be entitled to compensation. At Ashwood Solicitors, we will investigate your individual case, establish who is responsible for the accident and assess if you could make a claim.
A public place is anywhere that can be accessed by the general public, which means that there can be many different organisations that could be responsible for accidents if they happen. At Ashwood Solicitors, our expert personal injury team can investigate your case and determine if you could be entitled to a claim.

Have you been injured in a public place?
We know how shocking an accident in a public place can be and the last thing you expect is to be injured when walking down the street, in a shop or while on holiday.
An accident in a public area can seriously impact your everyday life, your
work-life, and your finances. At Ashwood Solicitors, our legal team have years of experience with general accident claims and we work with you to establish how and why the accident happened.
There is a time limit of three years from the date of your accident to make a claim; we would recommend getting specialist legal advice soon after. This often makes it easier to get evidence to support your claim, but we can help you gather evidence in the forms of witness statements, photos and CCTV footage.
How much is my personal injury compensation claim worth?
At Ashwood Solicitors, we deal with a variety of personal injury claims, all of which are different, so when it comes to the final figure on the claim, this will vary. It can depend on a number of factors, for example, the severity of your injuries, your length of recovery and even loss of earnings.
