Types of Public Liability Claims

Many types of claims can be described as public liability claims. At Sinnamon Lawyers, our lawyers for compensation in Brisbane & QLD provide services for personal injury claims that draw upon a range of public liability areas such as:

  • Slip and fall claims
  • Injuries on public and private property
  • Injuries occurring during recreational activities

To support our clients through their legal journey, we offer the skilled representation of our no win no fee lawyers in Brisbane & QLD, ensuring that financial constraints do not impede access to justice.

Understanding Duty of Care

Most public liability claims are based upon the assumption of a ‘duty of care’ by the landowner, council or occupier of the land or premises.

Councils, owners, and occupiers of commercial and private premises owe a duty of care to take reasonable measures for the safety of people who enter their property. When that duty of care is breached, recourse is available, and our personal injury lawyers in QLD are skilled in securing your compensation.

Proving Negligence in Public Liability Cases

To recover damages in most public liability claim cases, you must be able to prove:

  • The nature of the duty of care owed
  • Breach of that duty of care
  • That the personal injury has been caused by a breach of that duty of care


Public liability claims have very specific parameters, and are well-legislated. Our team of public liability lawyers at Sinnamon Lawyers are able to assist in claiming compensation for injuries that may have occurred in a public place.

If you’ve suffered as a result of such an injury, it’s important to seek guidance from experienced QLD & Brisbane personal injury lawyers who understand the nuances of these claims.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Public Liability Claims

Generally, claims can be made by not at fault people involved in accidents when there is a person who can be identified as the at fault party. To determine if you have a claim, contact our solicitors and lawyers to have an obligation free chat today. They will be able to give you advice about your specific case and determine if you have grounds for a claim.

Anyone who can prove they were injured due to the negligence of a third party can claim compensation for a public place accident. Your entitlement to damages will depend on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, the cause of the accident, and the amount of evidence you can provide in support of your claim.

These are some of the most common injuries associated with public place accident claims:

  • Falls
  • Dog bites
  • Food poisoning
  • Accidents that occur at theme parks
  • Injuries caused by uneven footpaths, walkways, driveways or stairs
  • Injuries from falling objects

Regardless of how you sustained your injuries, Sinnamon Lawyers can help you get compensation.

You can claim for any out-of-pocket expenses directly related to your accident, including:

  • Past and future medical costs
  • Lost income
  • The cost of ongoing care provided by family, friends and other individuals

You may also be able to claim for any pain and suffering you have had to endure. Our public liability lawyers can assist you with this process by placing a monetary value on your injuries and their long-term impact on your quality of life.

Every public liability claim is unique and different cases often involve diverse compensation amounts. The more serious your injuries, the more damages you may receive. For example, if your ability to live independently has been permanently impacted, your claim should involve a greater amount of damages.

If you are not sure how much compensation to claim, talk to one of our public liability lawyers and we can determine what you are entitled to.

In public liability cases, the compensation is typically paid by the insurance company of the party found to be at fault. This could be a business’s liability insurance, a property owner’s insurance, or a public entity’s insurance policy. In some cases, if the responsible party is uninsured or underinsured, they may be personally liable for the compensation. Each case is unique, and the source of compensation can vary depending on the specific circumstances of the incident.

Every type of personal injury claim is regulated by strict time limits. To avoid missing an important deadline and losing your claim eligibility, you should take legal action immediately after your accident.

Here at Sinnamon Lawyers we provide a no win no fee service, so you can make a claim without worrying about the costs involved. Designed to cover every outlay throughout your case, our no win no fee arrangement eliminates any need for you to pay for your legal fees upfront.

You only must cover your legal costs once your claim has been resolved, and only if you are awarded compensation.

No, you can talk to us about any claim in an initial consultation for free. We act no win no fee when we take on your case, so we only get paid at the end if we win.

Generally, between 12-18 months as it takes this long for people to reach maximum medical improvement. We can then assess how much a claim is worth.

In the event that your claim is unsuccessful, you will pay us nothing. Our costs and outlays are no win no fee.

Personal injury law in Queensland plays a crucial role in determining the outcome of a public liability claim. It outlines the legal framework for proving negligence, establishing liability, and calculating compensation. The specifics of Queensland’s personal injury law influence how claims are assessed, including the evidence required and the potential compensation amount.

Public liability lawyers in Brisbane & QLD negotiate with insurance companies to secure fair public liability compensation. They advocate on behalf of their clients, handle complex legal and insurance issues, and ensure that all aspects of the claim are addressed to achieve a favourable settlement.

Changes in public liability insurance policies can affect a person’s ability to make a claim by altering coverage limits, exclusions, or procedural requirements. Such changes might impact the amount of compensation available or the claim process, making it essential to understand current policy details and seek advice from experienced public liability lawyers.

There are strict limitation periods that apply to these claims, so for further information, please complete the online enquiry or give us an obligation free call.
