Accidents and injuries in public places can occur unexpectedly
and at any time. When such accidents are due to the negligence of
another party, you have the right to seek compensation through a
public liability claim. This article explains what a public
liability claim is in New South Wales (NSW), eligibility for a
claim and how you might be compensated.
What is public liability?
Public liability refers to the legal responsibility of an
individual or organisation for any harm or injury caused to another
person while on their premises or in a public space. It covers a
wide range of accidents, such as slip and fall incidents, defective
premises, dog bites, or injuries sustained at public events.
