If you've slipped, tripped, or fallen in a public space like a shopping centre, park, or car park due to poor maintenance or lack of signage, you may be entitled to compensation. Kearney Law Group can help you claim compensation with no upfront costs and a completely risk-free process.
A public place fall claim arises when someone is injured due to hazardous or unsafe conditions in areas that are open to the public. This includes both publicly and privately owned spaces such as supermarkets, pavements, transport stations, and leisure venues. If your accident happened because those responsible didn’t take reasonable steps to keep the area safe, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, lost income, and medical costs.
Even if the area seemed safe at first glance, poor maintenance or lack of proper warnings can create serious risks. We can assess your case and explain your options with no obligation.
You won’t need to pay anything to begin your claim. We’ll take care of everything, and you only move forward if you're happy with our advice.
