A broken path.

Get startedHow our NSW landlord negligence lawyers can help you.
Your NSW-based Law Partners landlord negligence lawyer will contact the public liability insurer on your behalf, and then:
Gather evidence of your accident, which may include photos of the hazard that caused your accident, CCTV footage, statements from witnesses and accident reports the landlord, property manager or strata manager.
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.
Once we’ve submitted your compensation claim, if the public liability insurer accepts liability, then it’s likely it will offer you a settlement payment. Most of our landlord negligence claims are settled without the need for court action.
If the insurer rejects liability or we’re unable to settle out of court, we may need to take court action to get your compensation.
Landlord negligence injury FAQs.
What are my chances of success?
For landlord negligence claims to be successful, we need to prove that:
- Your accident could have been avoided if the landlord had taken action to prevent it
- You’ve incurred losses as a result of your injuries
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.
How do no win no fee public liability lawyers work?
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.
Will I need to go to court?
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.
