What is public liability?

People and organisations that are responsible for commercial and private premises owe a duty of care to ensure they are safe for visitors and guests. They must take reasonable steps to ensure the property is properly well maintained and safe for use.

When injuries occur due to negligence on commercial or private properties, MEJ’s public liability lawyers are here to help you understand your rights.

Our accident claim lawyers can help you understand your right to compensation in situations involving slips and falls, defective products or equipment, sporting injuries, food poisoning, or dog bites and attacks.

For your peace of mind, our dedicated public liability lawyer team operates on a no-win, no-fee basis, ensuring that your interests always come first.
