Advice About What You should Do Following An Accident In a Public Place
It will help your claim if you can document and provide evidence of how your injury occurred, for example: if you slipped or tripped over an object or cracked paving, were hit by something that was not secured properly i.e. falling masonry and scaffolding, or fell because of stepping into a pot hole, you should try and record the measurement of the depth of the trip or hole, taking a photograph detailing the measurement. If you do not have a tape measure, use something identifiable such as a 50 pence piece.
You will also need to report the accident to the land owner at the earliest opportunity, for instance if your accident happened in a public building, regardless of how minor your think your injury is, it must be recorded within an on-site accident book, a quick phone call will be sufficient if this was not done at the time.
