What can I claim?
Public liability claims typically involve common law compensation, including:
Pain and suffering
A lump sum may be awarded based on the seriousness of your injury, your loss of enjoyment of life, or long-term impact. For example, an injured hand may stop a musician from playing—or affect your ability to care for children.
Medical and related costs
This includes costs you’ve already paid or are expected to pay:
– GP and specialist visits
– Hospital, dental, physiotherapy and rehab
– Counselling, medications, and surgery
– Travel to and from appointments
Loss of income
If you’ve missed work or can’t work the same way you did before due to this injury, you may be entitled to claim both past and future wage loss.
Care and assistance
You can also claim for unpaid help from loved ones (e.g., cooking, cleaning, transport) or care you would’ve provided to others, like children or elderly parents.
Public liability claims require specialised skill and urgent action. Call us today, so that we can protect your interests and obtain the compensation you deserve.

Enquire NowFrequently Asked Questions
1. Do time limits apply?
Yes. In most cases, you must bring a claim within 3 years of the injury (or when you first knew about it). Get in touch as early as possible and discuss your unique circumstances with our lawyers.
2. Do I need to pay for treatment upfront?
Yes—for now. But if your claim is successful, you may be reimbursed for both past and future costs as part of your settlement.
3. Will I have to go to court?
Not necessarily. While a court process may be started, most cases are resolved through negotiation or mediation before trial.
4. I was volunteering. Can I still claim?
Yes. If you weren’t covered under WorkCover and the injury was due to someone else’s negligence, it may fall under public liability.
5. What if I was partly at fault?
You can still claim. Your compensation might be reduced, but it doesn’t mean you aren’t eligible. Talk to our team as soon as possible.
6. Another law firm turned me away. Can you still help?
Yes. Every firm is different. We’re happy to give you a second opinion—fast and confidentially. Call 03 9133 0288.
