If you’re injured because of someone’s negligence, whether in a public place or someone’s property, you might be able to file a claim. If the claim is successful, this could be enough to cover your medical costs and other expenses (conditions apply).

Seeking legal assistance is important as soon as possible, especially because after a certain time period you might not be able to file the claim. Also, timely legal assistance can also make it easier to secure solid evidence that will support your claim.
Some examples of incidents that may results in claims are:
- Slip and falls at a shopping centre, grocery store, supermarket, car park, pub, hotel, gym or another public place
- Accidents at a construction site
- Accidents in the common areas of residential or commercial blocks (e.g. claims against strata)
- Accidents on local Council property
- Accidents on cruise ships
- Accidents involving sports or recreational activities.
- Balcony accidents
- Accidents on defective footpaths
- Accidents on defective rental premises
- Dog bites or animal-inflicted accidents
Those incidents fall under public liability claims, where the claim will be paid for by the public liability insurer (they usually cover supermarkets, shopping centres and other public entities).
What your claims may cover
The amount of compensation will depend on the circumstances and evidence of your case. The amount might be able to cover your:
