Public Liability Injuries

Public Liability

• What is a public liability claim?

  Public liability compensation covers an extensive range of locations where accidents can happen. Every situation is different, and anyone who frequents shopping centres or other popular public places will encounter minor, major and possibly tragic accidents or incidents. Common claim scenarios include:

  • Injuries while at the supermarket
  • Injury in a shopping or tourist precinct
  • Injuries occurring in a car park
  • Injuries in rental accommodation
  • Schoolyard and sporting injuries

  Injuries incurred during any phase of air travel require different aircraft travel insurance and compensation claim pathways. To make things easier all-round, Taylor & Scott Lawyers offer a free case assessment and the famous no-win no-fee guarantee. Put into context, this means that Taylor & Scott will back your case all the way if there is a reasonable chance of a successful claim, without you having to pay a cent until the case is won and compensation has been paid.

• How can compensation lawyers help with a public liability claim?

  A successful public liability claim is made by establishing fault in the person or organisation overseeing facilities where the accident occurred. Compensation payments are dependent on the extent of injury plus ongoing effects, and building a strong claim is the best way to achieve optimum claim damages. Taylor & Scott Lawyers have been winning cases for clients since 1905, and being well known as public liability lawyers with influence, we are rightly placed to guide your claim process from start to successful finish. Public Liability compensation covers economic and non-economic loss, and can include:

  • Loss of income; past, present and future
  • Medical expenses and hospital costs
  • Ongoing care and nursing arrangements
  • Payment for pain and suffering
• Examples of successful claims
  • A pedestrian walking along the footpath when a piece of timber falls onto them from a building site;
  • A pedestrian walking on a footpath when struck in the face by a gate not properly secured;
  • A member of a club suffering injury due to the failure of the club to adequately light an area;
  • A member of a club suffering injury when the club fails to put markings on clear sheets of glass and the club patron walks into that glass;
  • Patrons of clubs, restaurants and hotels being injured by dangerously sharp chairs upon which they are seated.

  At Taylor & Scott, we have acted in numerous public liability claims. The most common that everyone knows about are slip and fall claims in shopping centres, car parks and other public places. Food poisoning and theme/leisure park accidents are included as well, but there are many other public liability claims.
