Frequently Asked Questions

  • What constitutes a public liability claim?

    A public liability claim arises when an individual is injured in a public space due to someone else's negligence. This can include slips and falls, food poisoning, or injuries due to poorly maintained property. If someone else's lack of care has led to your harm, you may have grounds for a claim.

  • How long do I have to make a public liability claim?

    Time limits vary; however, it's crucial to act promptly. In Queensland, you often have three years from the date of the incident to commence legal proceedings. There are exceptions, so consulting with a public liability and negligence lawyer in Gladstone as soon as possible is advisable.

  • What kind of compensation can I expect from a public liability claim?

    Compensation can cover medical expenses, loss of earnings, pain and suffering, and future care needs. Each case is unique, with the potential recovery reflecting the specifics of your circumstances and the extent of your injuries.

  • Does 'no-win, no-fee' mean I won't incur any costs if my claim is unsuccessful?

    Typically, 'no-win, no-fee' means that we will not charge you legal fees if your claim is not successful. However, disbursements and other third-party costs might apply. We'll provide a clear outline of what 'No Win, No Fee' means for your case.
