Public Toilet Injury Claims
If you’ve suffered any kind of public toilet injury that wasn’t your fault, Tylers Solicitors can help guide you through the public toilet injury claims process to get the compensation you deserve.
Public toilet injury compensation
Most public places, from supermarkets and shopping centres to train stations, have public toilets. While most of these toilets are cleaned and well-maintained, there is always a risk of suffering injuries while using them.
Slips, trips, and falls are the most common reasons for being injured in a public toilet — especially if they haven’t been cleaned and maintained to safe standards or have inadequate lighting.
If you have suffered from a public toilet injury that wasn’t your fault, our personal injury claim solicitors are here to get you the justice and compensation you deserve. We operate on a no-win, no-fee basis, so you won’t need to pay anything upfront to make a public toilet injury claim.
We will take any legal fees from your compensation reward once we have won your case, so you’ll never have to worry about being out of pocket.
Start your public toilet injury claim by calling 0800 699 0079 or filling out our simple form.
