Public Liability Solicitors
An accident in a public place can leave you dealing with pain, disruption to your daily life, and financial strain.
Something as ordinary as shopping, eating out, or walking down the street can suddenly result in injury because someone failed in their duty of care.
It’s not just about the accident itself, it’s about how the consequences affect your health, your work, and your family.
At GHP Legal, our public liability solicitors are here to guide you through the claims process. With offices in Wrexham, Oswestry, and Llangollen, we represent clients across North and Mid Wales, Shropshire, and beyond.
Our role is to hold negligent businesses, councils, and organisations accountable, and to fight for the compensation you need to recover and move forward.
Types of Public Liability Claims We Handle
Public liability claims cover a wide range of accidents in places where you should feel safe. They require specialist expertise, thorough investigation, and clear understanding of liability.
At GHP Legal, we act in a wide range of public liability claims, including:
-
Slip, Trip and Fall Claims
-
Supermarket and Retail Accident Claims
-
Restaurant and Café Accident Claims
-
Council and Pavement Accident Claims
-
Leisure Centre and Gym Accident Claims
-
Hotel and Holiday Park Accident Claims
-
Playground and School Accident Claims
-
Events, Concert and Festival Accident Claims
We take time to understand your circumstances, how the accident happened, and the impact on your life, so your claim reflects every loss you have suffered.
Common Types of Public Liability Claims
Slip, Trip and Fall Claims
Slipping on a wet floor or tripping on uneven ground can cause serious injury. We ensure your claim includes treatment costs, loss of earnings, and the wider impact of your injury.
Supermarket and Retail Accident Claims
Supermarkets, shops, and shopping centres must maintain safe premises. If you are injured due to hazards like spillages, falling stock, or unsafe displays, we help you hold them accountable.
Restaurant and Café Accident Claims
Dining out should be safe. Injuries caused by hot food, poorly maintained seating, or unsafe flooring may entitle you to compensation. We pursue claims to cover medical costs and other losses.
Council and Pavement Accident Claims
Local authorities have a duty to maintain pavements, roads, and public spaces. If you are injured by uneven surfaces, potholes, or poor maintenance, we can bring a claim against the council.
Leisure Centre and Gym Accident Claims
Leisure facilities must ensure equipment and environments are safe. Accidents caused by faulty gym machines, wet changing rooms, or inadequate supervision are grounds for a claim.
Hotel and Holiday Park Accident Claims
Holidays and stays should be enjoyable, not harmful. We act for clients injured due to unsafe facilities, defective equipment, or poor health and safety standards in hotels and holiday parks.
Playground and School Accident Claims
Children are particularly vulnerable to accidents in playgrounds or schools. Where negligence is to blame, we act with care and determination to secure compensation for young claimants.
Events, Concert and Festival Accident Claims
Large public gatherings must meet strict safety standards. If organisers fail and you are injured at an event, festival, or concert, we will pursue a claim to cover your losses.
Your Right to Public Liability Compensation
If your injury in a public place was caused by negligence, you are entitled to claim compensation.
These claims look beyond the immediate costs to cover the long-term consequences of your injury.
Compensation may include:
-
Medical treatment, rehabilitation, and therapy
-
Loss of earnings and reduced future income
-
Pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life
-
Care, assistance, and adaptations to daily living
-
Travel costs and other expenses linked to your injury
You generally have three years to bring a claim, although there are exceptions for children and those lacking capacity. Seeking advice early ensures the strongest possible case.
