Make a public liability claim

If you have suffered property damage or personal injury that you consider to have been caused by Perth & Kinross Council, you may be able to claim compensation.

Compensation will only be considered if it can be shown that the Council is legally liable. This will involve the claimant proving that the Council has been negligent in their obligations to the public.

Claiming compensation

If you wish to make a claim, complete a  public liability claim form (Word doc) [83KB]  and email this to insurance@pkc.gov.uk or send to:

Insurance and Claims Team
Perth & Kinross Council
2 High Street
Perth
PH1 5PH

If you have any queries regarding submitting a claim, phone 01738 475657.

To avoid any delays with processing your claim, please ensure the form is fully completed and all supporting documentation has been provided.

Processing your claim
