Understanding Public & Occupiers Liability
Public liability relates to injuries caused in spaces that are open to the public. This could include council-maintained areas, commercial venues or even roads and pathways. Those in control of these areas, such as local authorities or private businesses have a duty to maintain them in a reasonably safe condition.
Occupiers’ liability applies to injuries that occur on privately owned premises. The “occupier” is typically the person responsible for the maintenance and safety of the property, which could be a landlord, business owner or managing agent.
Public and occupiers’ liability laws are in place to ensure people can hold others accountable when they’re hurt because of negligence or dangerous conditions.

Claiming Against Councils Or Public Bodies
If your injury was caused by a local authorities failure to maintain public infrastructure such as a damaged footpath or pothole you may still be entitled to claim compensation. However, claims against public bodies can be more complex due to their unique legal protections.
We have successfully handled such claims and are familiar with the procedures, defences and timelines involved. Our team will handle your case with the attention and expertise it requires.
What You Can Claim For
While compensation varies from case to case, successful claims often include:
- General damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity
- Special damages to cover medical bills, physiotherapy and other expenses
- Loss of earnings if the injury forced you to take time off work
- Future care costs, including any assistive devices, treatment or home modifications
- Psychological trauma, where applicable, particularly in severe accidents
