Council Accident Compensation Claims
Councils are responsible for providing an extensive array of services related to the upkeep and maintenance of all public spaces and properties, from roads and parks to schools and leisure centres. According to the law, councils and local authorities have a duty of care to ensure that these publicly owned areas are properly maintained and safe to use. If they fail to meet this duty of care, and you are injured as a result of their negligence, it could be grounds for a council accident compensation claim.
Services That Councils Are Responsible For
Essentially, councils are responsible for maintaining all spaces that are considered public property. This includes:
- Roads and highways;
- Public pathways and pavements;
- Public transport;
- Schools;
- Public parks;
- Sports and leisure facilities;
- Social care;
- Waste disposal.
