PUBLIC PLACE INJURY - HOSPITALS & CARE HOMES
Care home and hospital accident compensation claims in Scotland result from all sorts of things. Examples include:-
- a sales representative visiting a hospital being scalded by overly hot water from a toilet tap
- someone visiting a friend in a care home being struck by a falling roof slate in the car park
- a hospital patient attending a clinic tripping over loose linoleum in a corridor
If you have had an accident in a care home in Scotland or in a hospital whilst you were visiting there (whether as a patient, a visitor to a patient, on business or otherwise) and that accident resulted in you suffering a personal injury (whether a bodily injury or damage to your property), you may be entitled to compensation. That’s because the owner/occupier had a general duty to you in respect of your welfare, as well as responsibilities to you under the occupiers’ liability rules.
If you were injured in a hospital or care home accident in Scotland whilst you were working there, you have additional rights under the accident at work rules.
