Public Liability Claims

Anyone who owns a home, office, shop, park or factory must make sure visitors are safe while there.  If someone gets hurt in your home or office and it was caused by your negligence, they are then able to file a public liability claims. Usually, people will file a compensation injury at work claim because of a slip or trip where there was no signage.

For this person to be able to file a claim, they must prove the organization was responsible. This proof can be showing the property was not maintained correctly and did not inform the visitors of the possible danger for injury. One example would be a spill on the floor of a supermarket with no sign set up to warn you it was there. This type of injury can happen in other places besides a privately owned property.

This type of accident can also take place at a school, a park or council-owned property and so the injured person can then file a claim against local authority.  If you were at work when this happened, your claim would be against your employer. If you were at a friends home, then their home insurance would be the one covering your compensation claim.
