What Is a Car Park or Petrol Forecourt Injury Claim?
A car park or petrol forecourt injury claim may arise where a person is injured due to a hazard in an area open to the public. These claims are assessed by examining who was responsible for maintaining the area and whether reasonable steps were taken to ensure safety.
Responsibility may rest with a local authority, a private owner or occupier, a management company, or an employer, depending on who controlled the area where the accident occurred.

Injuries in car parks and forecourts may arise from a range of hazards, including:
- Damaged or uneven footpaths
- Poor or inadequate lighting
- Poorly maintained road surfaces
