This work covers slips, trips and other injuries arising from accidents in a DIY or hardware store, where a customer or visitor sues a store owner for negligence under occupier’s liability and related negligence principles. A solicitor handles the claim from initial assessment through to settlement or court, including gathering evidence, obtaining CCTV and incident reports, instructing medical experts, drafting a compliant claim for damages, and negotiating with the store or its insurer.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The solicitor identifies the act, duty and breach that created liability, and protects the client’s position where deadlines, evidential requirements and the potential for damages are concerned. They manage court timetables, preserve evidence, and pursue appropriate compensation for pain, suffering and financial loss under the Civil Procedure Rules and the relevant practice directions.
