This area covers injuries caused by defects in pavements and potholes on public highways or private areas where a proper duty of care may apply. A solicitor specialising in pavement and pothole claims helps you trace liability, check whether the local highway authority or occupier owed a duty of care, and pursue compensation for injuries and losses arising from a fall or trip. They gather evidence, obtain accident reports and CCTV, instruct medical experts, and communicate with insurers or defendants to negotiate or issue a claim under the Civil Procedure Rules. The work is shaped by rules on limitation, evidential thresholds, and whether a public highway is involved.
The specific act or decision that protects your position is the duty of care owed by the highway authority or occupier, and the time limits to bring a claim (usually a limitation period). If liability is established, the settlement or court-decision fixes the compensation for injury, loss of earnings, medical costs and adaptations needed. Ill-posed defects or disputed liability can lead to delays and contested liability outcomes.
