What Can I Claim For?
Public liability compensation is intended to help you recover physically and financially. You may be entitled to claim for:
- Pain and suffering
- Past and future loss of income (including superannuation)
- Medical, travel and rehabilitation expenses
- Paid domestic help or care services
- Unpaid care provided by friends or family members
- Permanent impairment or reduced capacity to work
The amount you may receive depends on the severity of your injuries, how they affect your day-to-day life, and the impact on your ability to work.
Common Public Liability Accident Locations
We’ve helped clients who were injured in many types of public and private settings, including:
- Shopping centres and supermarkets
- Footpaths, walkways and parks
- Rental or Airbnb properties
- Restaurants, cafes and pubs
- Gyms, sporting venues or recreational facilities
- Schools and playgrounds
- Office buildings or stairwells
- Private homes or driveways (in some cases)
No matter where your injury occurred, we can advise whether the property owner or operator may be legally responsible.
Frequently
Asked
Questions
How long do I have to make a public liability claim?
Strict time limits apply. In Queensland, you generally have three years from the date of injury to commence a claim. However, it’s always best to get legal advice as soon as possible — waiting too long can affect your case.
Do I need to prove someone was at fault?
Yes. To succeed in a public liability claim, you must show that the property owner or occupier breached their duty of care and that this caused your injury. We’ll help gather the evidence needed to support your claim.
What if I was partly at fault for my injury?
You may still be able to claim. If you were partly responsible (e.g., not paying attention or wearing unsuitable footwear), your compensation could be reduced — but not necessarily denied. We can advise you based on the facts.
What does ‘No Win, No Fee’ mean?
It means you won’t pay any legal fees unless we successfully win your case and you receive compensation. There are no upfront costs, and your consultation is 100% free.
Can I claim if the injury happened at someone’s home?
Yes, in some cases. If your injury occurred on private property and the homeowner failed to take reasonable steps to keep the area safe, a claim may be possible under their home and contents or public liability insurance.
