If you slipped, tripped, or fell in a public space in Ballymena, such as a shopping centre, park, pavement, or car park, you may be entitled to claim compensation. Kearney Law Group makes the process simple, with no upfront costs and a risk-free service that protects you from financial stress.
A public place accident claim is a legal process that allows you to seek compensation if your injury was caused by unsafe or poorly maintained conditions. Local councils, businesses, or property owners have a duty to keep public areas safe.
If they fail to repair hazards or warn visitors of risks, you could be entitled to compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and medical expenses.
