How you make a public liability claim depends on the state or territory in which you’re injured. You can make a public liability claim if you’re injured in a public place and you can prove three things: that someone owed you a duty of care; the duty of care was breached; and your injury is because of that breach. An experienced public liability lawyer can help with your claim, including identifying who owed you a duty of care.
