Injured in a public or private space?
If you or someone you care about have been injured in a public or private space, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
Some of the most common types of claims we see include slips, trips and falls in commercial, retail or public spots. In addition, sports injuries, injuries on the water, playground accidents and assaults can also have grounds for compensation.
This includes any injury sustained as a result of a business, local council or venue’s negligence. Most organisations these days are required by law to hold public liability insurance over their space or property.
Our lawyers are experts who aren’t afraid to take on tough cases and have a reputation in fighting for justice for everyday people.
I say to my clients that three things are important. One is to get the best possible result financially, second is to get it in the shortest possible time, and third is that through your relationship with our firm you feel as comfortable as you can.

The fine print:
It is important to know, there are strict time limits to commence a public liability claim, which vary under state and commonwealth laws. In Victoria, you have three years from the date of the injury to lodge a claim. There are also thresholds to receive certain categories of compensation. It is crucial you get good legal advice as soon as possible so you know your rights and entitlement to compensation.
