Pubs, Bars And Restaurant Claims
The Problem: Injury In A Licensed Venue
Pubs, bars, and restaurants are commercial properties that owe a clear duty of care to their customers. Accidents here are often caused by wet floors in washrooms, overcrowding, inadequate security, or faulty furniture. If the injury was caused by a hazard the venue should have managed, you may have a valid claim.
At Dorians Solicitors, we hold venue owners accountable under the Occupiers' Liability Act.

The Legal Duty: Occupiers' Liability and Safety
The owner or operator of the venue is the Occupier and is liable for foreseeable hazards under the Occupiers' Liability Act 1957. We pursue claims where negligence involved:
Slips on spilled drinks, food, or recently mopped floors without signage.
Tripping hazards from frayed carpets, broken seating, or obstructions (e.g., boxes left in service aisles).
Why Choose Dorians Solicitors Ltd?
We understand that evidence can be challenging to secure in busy, licensed venues. Your experienced lawyer will move quickly to demand access to CCTV footage, bar maintenance logs, and staff training records. We are skilled at navigating cases where venues deny knowledge of a hazard and fight vigorously against their insurers to secure maximum compensation for your fractures, cuts, or dental injuries. We offer this specialist service on a No Win No Fee basis, and can secure interim payments where appropriate.
Crucial Evidence: Protect Your Claim
The evidence you gather immediately following an accident is vital to proving your case. We strongly advise you to:
Report the Incident:
Ask staff to log the accident in the venue's Accident Book.
Photograph the Hazard:
Take clear pictures of the spill, damaged chair, or obstruction immediately.
Secure Witness Details:
Get names and phone numbers of any other customers who saw the incident.
Avoid Vouchers:
Do not accept free drinks, meals, or settlement vouchers, as this can complicate a legal claim.
