Making a public liability claim in Adelaide
Public liability claims involve personal injury caused by someone’s negligence.
In Adelaide and South Australia, you can make a public liability claim for personal injury compensation if:
You are on publicly owned land (such as a park or footpath) or privately-owned land that’s open to the public (such as a shopping centre)
The landowner or occupier owes you a duty of care
You suffer a personal injury on that land (physical injury, mental harm or death)
Your personal injury was caused by the landowner or occupier’s negligence (which means they breached their duty of care to you)
What is the standard of care for negligence?
In South Australia, the standard of care for negligence is to consider what a reasonable person would have done or not done, in the same circumstances.
