Understanding public liability claims
A public liability occurs when an incident or accident happens in a general environment such as a shopping mall, sporting venue, or park. Typically, the owners of these spaces must keep them safe for everyone. If they fail to do this and an accident happens, then you can claim public liability compensation.
If you are the victim of a public liability incident, you need to collect any direct evidence of the accident. You can record first-hand accounts from witnesses or videos and pictures.
Your compensation lawyer will depend on the bulk of your evidence to pursue a case for a public liability compensation claim. If you think you've been a victim of a public liability incident, one of our compensation lawyers can help advise if you have a strong enough case to receive compensation.
Common types of claims include:
-
Slips, trips, and falls: Individuals who have sustained injuries from slips, trips, or falls in public areas like parks, pavements, or shopping centres
-
Rental property accidents: Tenants, or visitors, who have experienced an injury in a rental home as a result of landlord negligence
-
Dog attacks: Individuals who have suffered an animal attack where the owner is negligent in their duty of care
-
Travel accidents: People who have suffered injuries or illnesses due to negligence by airlines or cruise ships
-
Restaurant and cafe negligence: People who have suffered illnesses or injuries due to negligence by restraunts and cafes.
