Accidents in Public Places
Local authorities and the suppliers of utility services all owe you a duty to keep the road and pavements reasonably safe. If they fail to do so we can help you claim compensation for your injuries. The Law doesn’t require roads and pavements to be completely hazard free, authorities are allowed to operate within a range of tolerances and reason … providing they carry out regular systems of inspection and repair.
Here speed is critical; obtain photographs (with measurements) of the defect immediately. DO NOT DELAY! These claims sometimes fail because the repairs are carried out before the necessary evidence is collated.
Many personal injury law firms will not, as a matter of policy, take on such cases. However, JSP Solicitors do, because we have the expertise and knowledge to identify the merits of each individual case.
