EXPERTS IN

Public Liability Claims

We specialise in public liability claims.

We have a passion for supporting pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users whose safety has not been ensured by public authorities.

Councils, highways authorities and local authorities have a duty to ensure the safety of all road users on the public highway. This includes public roads, pavements and other areas which are maintainable at public expense. This duty is imposed by the Highways Act 1980. Our specialist team has successfully supported clients in securing compensation when public authorities fall short of their duties.

What is considered a dangerous defect or hazard?

To pursue a claim, we would establish whether the defect or hazard which caused the accident was dangerous and over the required measurements. Courts tend to use the following measurements as guidelines:

A rise or depression of more than 2 inches (50mm) on the carriageway
