Injured in a public place in NSW? Start here.

If your injury happened in a public place like a shopping centre, park or public building, or at a private rental property, it may qualify for public liability compensation. If you’re not sure, you can call 0292644474 and speak with one of our public liability lawyers. It’s a free service.

If your injuries are more serious, you may be entitled to lump sum payouts for permanent impairment, pain and suffering, or future losses. These lump sums can be substantial, so it makes sense to speak to a public liability lawyer and find out what you can claim.

When claims are simply ‘processed’, important details can be missed. We’ll match you with a specialist public liability lawyer, build a personal relationship with you and your family, and look beyond your obvious injuries to claim everything you’re entitled to. This can make a big difference to the amount of compensation you receive.

You can call us and get free advice from a public liability lawyer over the phone. If it looks like you can make a claim, we’ll offer to fund your claim and act for you for you on a no win, no fee basis. We win over 99% of our cases, so you’ll be in safe hands with Law Partners on your side.

Justice for Miata’s death

“I fell to the floor and begged the doctor. Don’t let my daughter die.”

A house fire tore through the Kollie family’s rental property and resulted in the tragic death of Miata. The family’s strength to achieve justice for their daughter’s death throughout their public liability claim is nothing short of inspiring.

Joseph's story

Restaurant owner Joseph had his life turned upside down after a horrible slip in a public toilet.

Public liability FAQs.

Your Law Partners public liability lawyer will take care of the whole claim process for you. Here’s an overview of the process:

  • We gather evidence of your accident. This could include photos of the hazard that caused your accident, CCTV footage, statements from witnesses and accident reports from the local authority or building manager.
  • We’ll have your injuries assessed by a doctor. We need medical evidence such as scans and x-rays to prove what injuries you suffered from the accident.
  • We’ll identify who’s responsible. Your public liability lawyer needs to identify who is the organisation or person in charge of the location or building where the accident occurred, as we’ll be claiming against their public liability insurer.
  • Once we’ve submitted your public liability claim, if the insurer accepts liability then it’s likely it will offer you a settlement payment. Most of our public liability claims are settled without the need for court action.
  • If the insurer rejects liability or you’re unable to settle out of court, we may need to take court action to gain compensation for your losses.

No win, no fee public liability lawyers offer to run your case for you and only get paid when you win. If you choose the right lawyer, it’s an excellent option that allows you to pursue your claim without any risk, but it’s important to check the lawyer’s costs agreement to fully understand what’s covered. With some no win no fee lawyers you can still end up having to pay thousands of dollars in disbursements if your case is unsuccessful. This is because their no win no fee agreements cover their professional fees but not the costs they incur.

At Law Partners, our no win no fee, no disbursements guarantee covers all our costs and disbursements as well as our professional fees, so you can pursue your claim with peace of mind. Check out our No Win, No Fee page, which covers our approach and gives you what we believe to be the best and fairest agreement in Australia. 

For public liability claims to be successful, we need to prove that:

  • Your accident could have been avoided if the authority or building manager had taken action to prevent it.
  • You’ve incurred losses as a result of your injuries.

A building manager can be held liable if they knew or should have known about a potential hazard and did nothing about it. We have extensive experience with public liability claims, and we win over 99% of our cases. We can advise you over the ph

OUTSTANDING!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank very much Shifa and Xanthe for their hard work.

In this really stressful time for me the way I have been kept informed and have been explained the different steps has been amazing. The patience and understanding you also shown is way more than I could have asked for.

It’s hard for me really to put into words how much I appreciate and respect the both of you.

Thank you so very much!

I came to Law Partners because they specialise in compensation. My lawyer made me feel very comfortable and gave fantastic advice. I am 110% satisfied with the result, I got a better result than expected after following my lawyer’s advice. I would have no hesitation in recommending Law Partners to others.

I had an amazing experience with Shabana at Law Partners. From the very beginning, her attention to detail, communication, and overall commitment to my claim really stood out. She took the time to explain everything clearly, always followed up, and made sure I understood every step of the process. You could tell she genuinely cared about getting me the best result and went above and beyond to make that happen. George and Claudia were also fantastic. They were organised, friendly, and always quick to get back to me whenever I needed something. Together they made a stressful process so much easier. I’m really grateful for the effort and professionalism this team showed. If you get the chance to work with Shabana, you’ll be in very good hands.

Yasmine Jawar and Mimi Tuco, what a welcoming light of hope you were for my family and I. I recommend this firm to any person dealing with a Psychological injury in the work place.

Yasmine was not only understanding of my injury but calm. No Matter how many times I emailed or rang over the past year my own concerns were always met with emotional support and sincerity.

We have a long way to go but have progressed with already great results. A Psychological injury is never easy, but this firm fought for me and my family and keep doing so. My family and I are forever grateful for all the effort and support received.

I moved from another firm to Law Partners and right from the start it was a totally different experience. My solicitor Sarah King and her paralegal Cassandra Hughes were empathetic, encouraging and highly attentive.
I received regular updates, they sought to clarify issues as they arose,
They prepared for each new step and checked in with me after each new event in the process.
They turned a scary experience into an ok experience with a positive outcome.
I cannot recommend them enough.
Thank you thank you.
