Lawyers for accidents on public roads, private premises and shops

Claim compensation if you have suffered an accident on public transport or on a public road

One of the fastest-growing areas of practice at the Onandia Abogados law firm is compensation claiming for accidents on public transport or on a public road.

All public transport and all public roads (streets, roads, parks and public spaces), as public property, must be kept in an optimal condition by the competent bodies. Consequently, the administration is responsible for any damage that may be caused to persons due to negligence in their obligations to maintain the infrastructures.

People who suffer accidents on public roads or on public transport are entitled to compensation if injuries are caused by their defective functioning or poor condition. Falls caused by gaps in the street may result in the right to claim from the corresponding public administration.

Other frequent accidents are those that occur in public spaces, such as at traditional festivals held in parks, buildings or on public roads. The councils or municipal companies responsible for these public spaces are required to ensure the proper functioning of their facilities and their maintenance.

The injured person must act as in any accident: call the local police, obtain witnesses and go to the emergency room so that the injuries and their treatment can be assessed.

You should know that in general, any damage that occurs to a person in which there is civil liability entails the payment of compensation for the accident. In calculating the amount of compensation, various variables must be taken into account (injuries, property damage, sequelae, etc.), so if the injured party wishes to obtain maximum compensation, it is advisable to consult expert accident lawyers in transport or public roads who are totally independent and have no link with the insurance companies of the public administrations or the companies responsible.

Have you suffered an accident or fall in a supermarket, store or private premises?

Other common accidents are those that occur in commercial premises, such as accidents or falls in a supermarket, store or private premises, theme parks, sports facilities such as gyms, football fields, ski resorts, marina, hunting grounds, etc. The companies that operate these commercial establishments are responsible for ensuring their proper functioning and maintenance.

Any damage you have suffered in an accident or fall in a supermarket, store or private premises is liable for compensation in most cases. These commercial premises are required to have a civil liability policy that covers these possible accidents on their premises. Compensation should cover injuries sustained, property damage and sequelae. To calculate it, we must assess:

• Serious or less serious personal injuries such as sprains, fractures, contusions, etc.
• All kinds of material damage such as mobile phones, clothing, glasses, etc.
• Medical and travel expenses arising from the injury suffered.
• Days off work.
• Disabilities sustained.
• The consequences that have been caused by the injuries.
