Slip and Trip Accidents
Common Examples of Public Place Accidents
Pavement and road defects – uneven surfaces, potholes or broken kerbs
Shops and supermarkets – spillages, cluttered aisles or unsafe flooring
Car parks and leisure centres – poor maintenance, inadequate lighting or hazards left unattended
Restaurants, bars and cafés – wet or greasy floors without warning signs
Public buildings – poorly maintained stairs, ramps or entrances
Accidents in public places can happen without warning – a hidden pothole on the pavement, a wet supermarket floor without signage, or poor lighting in a car park. While these incidents may seem like everyday hazards, the consequences can be serious, often leading to broken bones, head injuries or long-term health problems.
If your accident occurred because a local authority, business or property owner failed to keep their premises reasonably safe, you may be entitled to compensation. At Hollins Wood Solicitors, we act for individuals injured in public spaces to ensure they receive the justice and financial support they deserve.
