Joseph's Story
I thought I'd never get my life back
Restaurant owner Joseph had his life turned upside down after a horrible slip in a public toilet.
A rental property landlord has a duty of care to tenants and visitors, to ensure their safety. If you’ve been injured because of a breach of that duty, then it’s likely you can claim compensation.
We’ve helped many people get compensation for rental property accident injuries, but we understand your situation is unique, and you’re different from every one of them. Getting you more compensation starts with building a personal relationship with you, to truly understand your situation.
There’s no cost to speak to a landlord negligence lawyer, tell your side of the story, and find out how much you can claim.
Compensation payouts range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Depending on the severity of your injuries, the total compensation amount can include:
Your Law Partners landlord negligence lawyer will contact the public liability insurer on your behalf, and then:
Your landlord negligence lawyer is backed by a team of specialists including paralegals, medico-legal experts, forensic accountants and barristers.

For landlord negligence claims to be successful, we need to prove that:
A landlord 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 landlord negligence claims, and we win over 99% of our cases. We can advise you over the phone on whether your claim is likely to succeed.
No win no fee 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 expenses if they lose your case. This is because their no win no fee agreements cover their professional fees but not their costs, such as medical reports. 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.
When you make a landlord negligence claim, you’re claiming the landlord is liable for your injuries. If the landlord admits liability, then their public liability insurer is likely to offer you a sum of money as compensation – this is known as a settlement. If you can’t come to agreement on the settlement amount, or if the landlord denies liability, then you have the option of taking them to court and letting a judge decide on the outcome – this is known as litigation.
Most of our claims are settled out of court. Your Law Partners lawyer will keep you informed about your claim regularly and advise you on your options.
Caring for our clients drives everything we do – that’s why thousands of Australians every year choose Law Partners.
