Unfortunately, accidents in public places are common and can occur anywhere. Typical examples include trips on a public footpath, slipping in a supermarket, and injuries caused by defective premises.
In the UK, owners and occupiers of buildings and areas open to the public have a legal duty to ensure that they are in a safe condition to avoid the risk of injury to the visiting public. Typical examples include supermarkets, hospitals, banks, restaurants, shopping centres and professional offices such as solicitors, dentists and doctor’s surgeries.
Local authorities and councils also have a legal responsibility to ensure that all footpaths, roads, car parks and offices are properly maintained to avoid the risk of injury.
The most common causes of an accident in a public place include:
- Liquids or materials left on the floor
- Tripping hazards on a footpath
- Uneven and defective flooring
- Poor lighting
- Failure to maintain premises
- Failure to use warning and hazard signs
