Injuries from accidents in public places often mean time off work, unplanned expenses and financial stress. But your situation is unique, and your injuries may have led to other health issues and complications. We’ll take time to get to know you personally, identify all your issues and claim everything you’re entitled to. That’s why you’ll get more compensation with Law Partners, Australia’s largest specialist personal injury firm.
It’s hard enough to cope with an unexpected injury – you shouldn’t have to deal with financial pain too. Depending on your injuries, you may be entitled to payments for lost income, medical expenses, domestic assistance, pain and suffering and future losses. Call us for free advice on how much you can claim.
Accidents in supermarkets and shopping centres can be caused by situations like slippery floors, dropped or spilled food items and trip hazards. If you’ve been injured, our specialist public liability lawyers can help you claim all the compensation you’re entitled to.
Landlords and building managers have a duty of care to tenants and visitors to ensure their safety. If you’ve been injured at a rental property and it can be shown that the injury resulted from a breach of that duty, then you’re likely to be entitled to compensation.
Parks present a range of hazardous situations that can result in injury, and over the years we’ve helped many clients who have been injured in accidents in public parks. Injuries can be caused by trip hazards like uneven paths, playground equipment, exercise equipment and maintenance works.
Operators of recreational facilities and sporting venues have a duty of care to ensure the safety of visitors. If an operator is negligent and you’re injured as a result, then it’s likely you can claim compensation.

You have three years from the date of injury to claim public liability compensation. However, in some cases it might be possible to claim up to three years from becoming aware of your injury. If you’re a minor or a person with a disability you have six years from the date of injury.
Public liability claims typically take 12-18 months to settle. However, they can take significantly longer depending on your injuries, especially if you can’t reach a settlement agreement and you need to take the insurer to court to pursue compensation.
Public liability claims payouts depend on the extent of your injuries and the expenses you have incurred. You might be able to claim public liability compensation for lost income, medical expenses, travel expenses, domestic assistance, pain and suffering, permanent impairment and future losses.
If you qualify for all these entitlements, public liability claims payouts can run into hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. But there are many public liability claims where even relatively minor injuries have resulted in tens of thousands of dollars in compensation.
For public liability claims to be successful, you’ll need to prove that:
Proving these two points is not always straightforward – a building manager can only be held liable if they knew or should have known about a potential hazard and did nothing about it.
Take for example a slip and fall accident. If a hazard like roof leak causing a slippery floor had just happened prior to your accident, and there was no way for the building manager to know about it yet, it’s very unlikely they could be held liable. However, if the building manager knew about the slippery floor and failed to do anything about it, then it’s likely they would be held liable for your accident.
If someone can be held liable for your accident and you’ve had a significant injury, time off work and medical bills, then it’s likely to be worth pursuing public liability compensation.
It is possible to make a claim without using a lawyer, however it’s important to understand that you’ll be making your claim against an insurance company that does have lawyers on its side. So you’ll have a much better chance of success and you’re likely to get a much better compensation payout if you have a good public liability lawyer on your side.
You might have seen ads for ‘slip and fall’ or ‘slip, trip and fall’ lawyers. These are just other names for a public liability lawyers, used because a large number of public liability claims are for slip and fall injuries. For example, a common claim is for slipping and falling on a wet floor in a supermarket.
Caring for our clients drives everything we do – that’s why thousands of Australians every year choose Law Partners.
