Council Compensation Claims

Here at Tylers Solicitors, we can help you with council compensation claims. If you sustain injury through local council negligence or when working for them, you may be entitled to compensation. Our experienced team can help you to make claims for compensation against local authorities and city councils across England and Wales.

What Kinds of Injuries Could My Local Council Be Responsible For?

Local councils, like any organisation, must comply with health and safety legislation. If your council is negligent it could lead to you sustaining injuries that aren’t your fault. For example, some of the most common injuries people suffer as a result of council activities include:

  • Slips, Trips and Falls.
  • Road Traffic Accidents.
  • Head Injuries.
  • Trapped Limbs.

Any of these injuries can have a serious impact on your life. In many cases, they can leave you with injuries preventing you from working or comfortably socialising.
