Public liability law ensures your right to safety in privately owned and public spaces.

Occupiers of these spaces have a duty of care to ensure that anyone that rightfully enters these spaces can do so safely. Should you suffer an injury that was or should have been reasonably foreseeable by the occupier, you may be entitled to claim compensation.

For public liability claims, strict time limits apply, and you will need to deliver a claim form that complies with the legislation within 9 months from the date of the accident. You may only proceed with delivering a claim form after this time if you can provide a reasonable explanation for the delay.

You have only 3 years from the date of the incident within which to commence court proceedings, failing which any public liability claim that you might have otherwise been entitled to bring will be forever statute barred.

Am I eligible for public liability compensation?

A public liability claim may be available to you if you have been injured in a public accident or due to someone else’s actions. Several different types of accidents can be covered by public liability claims, such as accidents on private premises and accidents in public areas. Injured people are often unaware that they are entitled to compensation for their losses and injuries through a public liability claim.

How much compensation can I receive?

Your well-being, the well-being of your family, and your ability to earn an income can be greatly impacted by an unexpected injury.

Our Brisbane public liability lawyers will calculate your entitlements based on your medical reports and circumstances after your injuries have stabilized. Compensation may be available for the following depending on your situation:

Pharmaceuticals, rehabilitation, and medical treatment costs from the past and the future.
Income and superannuation losses from the past and future.
Costs associated with help you had to pay for due to your injuries, such as lawn mowing, cleaning, and household maintenance.
Pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment.
