Public liability insurance is a legal requirement

If you have had an accident in public, then it would be worth your while checking to see whether the place where you had your accident has public liability insurance. Public liability insurance covers companies, shops and organisations should anything happen whilst somebody is on their property. It is a legal requirement to have public liability insurance and you can be prosecuted for not having it.

Having an accident in a public place can be traumatic, especially if the injuries you sustained are quite bad. If the accident hasn’t been your fault, you will want to pursue a case for compensation against those who are to blame.

A solicitor is best placed to advise you and guide you through the processes of putting together a case for compensation. There are solicitors who deal specifically with cases relating to accidents in public and they will know the best way to proceed with your case.

Your solicitor will ensure that you receive the compensation you are entitled to for the injuries you have suffered with. Your physical and emotional injuries will both be taken into consideration when the judge is reviewing your case.

After suffering from a slip resulting in a broken leg, having never been in this situation, I was confused, anxious and not sure what I should do with regards to claiming compensation for loss of earnings. The internet is a minefield of varying advise and companies all offering their services and a lot was jargon and unclear. The wording and explanations on the site given by Ian Morris was clear, concise and in plain English. I requested a call back and Ian promptly called me to discuss my case. He was patient and knowledgeable and I felt comfortable talking to him, feeling that he understood my concerns. I would thoroughly recommend anyone who needs to make a personal injury claim to talk to Ian Morris to help point them in the right direction in order to move forward to making a claim.

Using direct2compensation felt right from the beginning, right from the first contact, I received quick informative and helpful advice and was directed to an excellent solicitor best suited for my claim. Although my claim is yet to be settled the process has been easier than I initially thought, my direct contact Ian has kept me informed, and followed up contact to make sure if I have any questions or queries he will happily help if he can. Overall a pleasant experience would highly recommend this service.”
