Your Accident in Public Place Claims Experts
Accident in a public place
An accident in a public place refers to an incident that causes harm or injury to an individual that occurs in an area open to the general public, such as parks, sidewalks, shopping malls, public buildings, or recreational spaces. These accidents can result from various causes, including unsafe conditions, lack of maintenance, or negligence on the part of property owners or managers responsible for the public space.
Accident In A Public Place Compensation
No one anticipates being injured while carrying out their daily activities. If you’ve experienced an injury in a public place due to the negligence of another individual or entity, you shouldn’t have to bear the financial and emotional burdens alone.
You may be eligible to file a claim for an injury at a public place if:
- Your accident occurred within the past three years (or if it’s been three years or less since you first became aware of your injury or condition).
- It was someone else’s fault, such as the property owner or manager failing to fulfill their legal duty of care towards you.
What Types of Public Place Accidents Can You Claim For?
Accidents and injuries in public places can vary widely, so you might be uncertain about whether your situation qualifies for a claim. Scotland has a diverse range of public spaces, resulting in a wide array of accidents, including:
- Slip and fall incidents
- Trip and fall accidents
- Injuries due to poor maintenance
- Accidents in parks or recreational areas
- Public transportation accidents
- Shopping mall accidents
- Accidents in restaurants or cafes
- Injuries at public events or gatherings
- Accidents in government buildings or public facilities
- Playground accidents
- Injuries in parking lots or garages
Making a Public Place Injury Claim
If you have sustained an injury as a result of any type of accident in a public place, and it was caused by someone else’s negligence, you have the right to file a compensation claim against the responsible party.
Receiving compensation is not only just and fair; it is essential for addressing the extent of pain and suffering you have experienced. This includes any physical or emotional distress that has arisen due to the incident in a public place.
If you have suffered an injury due to an accident in a public place within the past three years or have discovered that you are dealing with a condition linked to the incident, you likely have grounds to make a compensation claim.

When you find yourself involved in a road traffic accident, the aftermath can be overwhelming.

No one expects to be injured while going about their daily job. If you’ve experienced a workplace injury due to another person’s negligence, you shouldn’t have to face the financial and emotional repercussions on your own.
You may be eligible to file a claim for a work-related injury if:

Pedestrians are afforded specific legal protections when using public spaces. These include the right of way at marked crosswalks and pedestrian zones, and motorists are legally obligated to exercise caution and yield to pedestrians in these areas.
At Scotland Injury Solicitors, we understand that medical negligence involves errors or substandard care provided by a medical professional, leading to injury or the worsening of an individual’s condition. While most healthcare providers are highly trained and deliver excellent care, mistakes can occur, resulting in life-changing consequences for patients. When you or a family member have experienced negligent medical treatment, it can be distressing. Putting your trust in medical staff when seeking healthcare is a fundamental expectation, and a medical error can leave you feeling frustrated and betrayed.
