Yes. You may still be able to make a claim even if you do not know who was responsible for your injury. Stallard Solicitors’ personal injury lawyers in Liverpool give honest advice to people who have suffered injuries through no fault of their own. We can help you understand whether a claim is possible and who may be responsible.
You don’t need to work it out yourself
After an accident, your focus will probably be on your treatment and recovery. No one expects you to know who owed you a duty of care, whether someone breached that duty or whether more than one party was involved. An experienced solicitor can review the circumstances and identify potential parties.
Public place accidents can be unclear
If you suffered an injury in a public place, it may not be obvious who was responsible. Accidents in supermarkets, parks, streets, shops, car parks or council-managed areas can raise questions like:
- Who controlled the area?
- Was there a hazard?
- How long had the hazard been there?
- Should the responsible party have repaired, cleaned, inspected or clearly marked it?
- Was a council, business, contractor or property owner responsible?
You should still get advice even if you are not sure who was responsible. Our personal injury lawyers can investigate the case and identify who may be responsible. We can then assess whether the evidence may provide grounds to bring a claim.
Workplace accidents are not always your fault
Employer negligence or a failure to follow health and safety procedures can make a workplace accident claim possible. Employers should provide proper training, proper equipment, risk assessments and appropriate supervision.
Responsibility may not rest with you if the employer failed in their duty. Faulty equipment, poor training, unsafe working practices, a lack of protective equipment or a failure to properly assess risks can all make a claim possible.
Our lawyers in Liverpool can advise whether your employer, another contractor or another party may have been responsible.
Evidence helps establish what happened
Evidence is important when responsibility is unclear. Helpful information may include:
- photographs of the scene
- witness details
- accident book entries
- medical records
- receipts
- messages
- CCTV, if available
- anything showing how the accident happened
Do not worry if you do not have everything. A conversation with a solicitor can help identify the evidence available and the further information you may need.
