The relevant local authority, highway authority or owner of the premises or property you are using has a duty of care to ensure that all members of the public and visitors are reasonably safe whilst on their land or using their facilities. In the UK, most business owners, landlords, companies and public bodies have insurance to cover public liability accidents.
Who can make a public liability claim?
- Customers: in shops, restaurants, supermarkets and large retail outlets, etc.
- Clients of businesses or individuals carrying out a service: hairdressers, plumbers, electricians, gardeners, dog groomers, etc.
- Visitors: people who have gone to a place of business, or where services are carried out, who are not customers or employed at the site.
- School children and pupils: in nurseries, state and private schools, colleges and universities.
- Event goers: people watching or taking part in an organised event such as sports matches, trade shows or theatrical performances, etc.
- General public: anyone who may be near your business or where you are carrying out work.
If you think another person owed you a duty of care while you were on or near their premises and you have been injured as a result of their negligence, you may be able to make a claim for compensation.
