Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about public liability claims

What is public liability? +
Public liability refers to the legal responsibility of individuals, businesses, or organisations to ensure their premises or activities are safe for the public. If negligence causes injury, the responsible party may be liable for compensation.
How do I prove negligence in a public liability claim? +
You need to show that the responsible party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and that breach directly caused your injury. Evidence such as photos, witness statements, and incident reports are crucial.
How long do I have to make a public liability claim? +
In Queensland, you generally have 3 years from the date of injury. However, pre-court procedures must be initiated earlier, so seek legal advice as soon as possible.
What if I was partly at fault? +
You may still be entitled to compensation, but it may be reduced by a percentage reflecting your contributory negligence.
