Public liability claim FAQs

Understand the key steps and considerations when making a personal injury claim after an accident in a public place. These FAQs help you feel informed, prepared, and protected.

What should I do immediately after an accident?

Seek medical attention immediately after your incident. Even if you think your injuries are minor, it will assist you later on when you need medical evidence to prove your injuries.  

Why is gathering evidence important?

Although it can be a distressing and traumatising time, the more evidence you can collate the better. Take photos at the scene (if appropriate), obtain contact information from any witnesses present and preserve all documents including medical reports and receipts for expenses incurred.

Who should I report the incident to?

Report the injury to the property owner, manager or relevant authorities. Make sure your accident has been properly documented and, where applicable, an accident book filled out.

Do I need a specialist lawyer?

Yes, a lawyer who specialises in public liability can guide you through the legal process, assess the viability of your claim and negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf.

How long do I have to make a claim?

Always be mindful to act quickly when it comes to personal injury cases as there are often statutes of limitations that dictate how long you have to claim after an incident.
