Public Liability Claims.

Public Liability Claims.

Accidents can happen at any time and at any place. If you have suffered an injury or have had an accident while using a public space or a business, you may be entitled to pursue a claim for compensation against the responsible party’s public liability insurer.

Business and property owners have a legal duty to ensure that their premises are safe for guests and passers-by, and must take the necessary measures to remove any potential safety hazards that can cause harm or injury to members of the public. They, along with occupiers of the premises, are required to take out a public liability insurance to cover accidents and injuries in the event that they occur.

At its most basic definition, workers’ compensation is a compulsory statutory form of insurance for all employers in every state and territory in Australia. Each state and territory have its own workers’ compensation scheme, but all are designed to provide financial assistance and medical benefits to workers in the event they suffer a work-related injury or illness.



However, there are instances where the employer may deny the worker of these benefits, leaving injured workers deprived of the resources they need to make a full recovery from their injury. In cases like this, the best thing to do is to seek legal action.

What Is a Public Liability Claim?

A public liability claim is designed to compensate injured people when they get hurt or injured due to the negligent actions of the business owner/manager or the property owner. You may be entitled to make a public liability claim if you have suffered an injury in a public place due to the negligence of the party responsible for that area.


Public liability claims can be daunting, complicated, and time consuming. Attempting to pursue a claim without expert legal representation comes with many risks, including misunderstanding the law, miscalculating your damages, and settling for a lowball offer. For best results, speak with a qualified and experienced Canberra lawyer at Andrew Byrnes Law Group.
