This area covers injuries caused by dangerous premises or defective equipment on someone else’s property, including slips, trips and falls, falling objects, or malfunctioning machinery. A solicitor in this field investigates how the accident happened, gathers evidence such as CCTV, maintenance logs and medical records, and assesses liability under occupiers’ liability principles. They draft the claim, prepare schedules of damages, and negotiate with insurers, potentially progressing to court to obtain compensation for injury, loss of earnings and care costs.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The crucial moments are identifying liability for the fall or fault, and pursuing a remedy for irreversible or time‑sensitive consequences. A solicitor helps secure remedies and protections through the civil process, including evidence collection, formal notice, and court or mediation procedures where needed.
