How We Manage Pub Accident Claims
Managing pub accident claims in St Helens involves a targeted process to address incidents like slips on spilt drinks or trips caused by damaged flooring in venues such as pubs near Church Square Shopping Centre. Solictors from our panel support you by:
Gathering CCTV footage from the pub or nearby businesses
Collecting statements from witnesses who were at the venue
Accessing medical reports from local hospitals like Whiston Hospital
Liaising directly with pub management for maintenance records
These steps help establish what caused the accident and whether negligence occurred. Solictors from our panel also clarify your legal rights, so you won’t have to handle complex evidence yourself. If you suffered a pub accident, why not call to discuss beginning a pub accident claim?
Is There A Time Limit When Making A Pub Injury Claim?
Legal time limits apply to pub injury claims in St Helens. You usually get three years from the date of the accident—such as slipping on a wet floor at The Wheatsheaf on Westfield Street or tripping over loose steps at St Helens Central Station’s bar area. This three-year period may run from the date you became aware your injury resulted from negligence if you didn’t realise right away.
Some exceptions include claims for children or people lacking mental capacity—other specific rules may then apply. For child pub accidents, a claim can be made any time before the child turns 18, then the usual three-year limit begins. In cases involving someone who can’t manage their affairs, the three-year period may only start when they recover.
Solicitors from our panel support you by clarifying exactly how these deadlines apply to your pub injury scenario and gathering evidence before time limits expire. You don’t need to handle Merseyside pub injury claim processes alone.

What Specific Laws Are Linked To Pub Accident Claims?
Specific legal duties apply to pubs across St Helens under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957, which requires management to protect visitors, such as customers and staff, from avoidable harm. This covers common accidents like slipping on a wet floor at Church Square Shopping Centre, or tripping on broken steps at a local alehouse off Westfield Street.
Slip hazards: Spilled drinks or cleaning fluids left unattended in busy venues
Trip risks: Loose carpeting or uneven entrance steps at pubs near Victoria Park
Burns risk: Faulty kitchen appliances in venues serving hot meals near Prescot Road
Solicitors from our panel can collect maintenance records, witness statements, and local accident reports from Whiston Hospital or other St Helens facilities to build your pub accident claim. They clarify responsibilities under the law and guide you through the evidence needed, so you’re not expected to do this alone.
