Public Liability
At Just Injury Lawyers, we provide expert advice on your rights and entitlements if you are injured in a public space.
Entitlements you may be eligible for include:
1. Significant Injury
Public Liability proceedings cannot be commenced unless a Significant Injury Certificate has been granted. A Significant Injury Certificate is granted if you are assessed as having an impairment of 5% or more, depending on the type of injury sustained.
2. Liability
Once a Significant Injury Certificate has been granted, it must be shown that the injury was due to the fault or negligence of another party, and that the injury could have been avoided
3. Damages
Public Liability damages can be awarded for pain and suffering, past and future economic loss, past and future medical expenses, as well as the costs of care provided to you.
