If you have been injured but it was not at work or in a motor vehicle accident you may be able to make a public liability claim.
Often referred to as “slips, trips and falls” these types of accidents are often just that, an accident. But sometimes they are genuinely the fault of a another person or company.
Australian law is designed to protect the public from pain or loss arising from an injury that is caused by someone else. Depending on the circumstances, you may be entitled to seek compensation for your injury and the impact that injury may have on your future.
Public liability may apply to:
- accidents in a residence
- accidents or slips and falls in shopping centres or supermarkets
- playground or schoolyard incidents
- slips and falls in public or private locations
- injuries suffered from faulty consumer products
How much will it cost to make a claim?
When discussing your claim with us we will make sure you have a clear understanding of the way in which you will be charged and how this may impact on the eventual value of any compensation you may receive. Some payment options offered by personal injury firms may initially seem appealing but result in higher costs, and less compensation for you, in the long term.
The cost of helping you with your claim is determined by the complexity of your situation and the time involved in getting you a resolution.
At your initial interview we will provide you with information specific to your situation regarding costs and payment options.
