Every year thousands of people are injured in public places as a result of accidents – especially trips and falls, but sometimes whilst taking part in recreational activities and sports. Some of those incidents can lead to head and brain injury. Although you may not be fully aware of any right to seek compensation, it is important to seek specialist advice from experienced solicitors, particularly in the case of a serious injury.
The right to claim for compensation for head injuries
We have encountered situations in many different ways in which our clients have been able to recover compensation for accidents in public places. The human brain is very vulnerable to impact and if you have suffered from a serious injury you would benefit from taking advice to be clear about your rights. Typical examples include:
- Falls due to defective pavements and road surfaces are just one example.
- Severe injuries caused by participating in sports.
- Being struck by objects or vehicles involved in a public event or spectacle, leading in some cases to severe head injury.
Sometimes serious injury results from problems with premises for which the "occupier" may be liable.
