Public Liability

Wyatt Attorneys are highly experienced public liability lawyers providing services for personal injuries claims that draw upon a range of public liability areas such as:

- Slip and fall claims
- Injuries on public and private property
- Injuries occurring during recreational activities

Most public liability claims are based upon the assumption of a ‘duty of care’ by the landowner or occupier of the land. Councils, owners and occupiers of commercial and private premises owe a duty of care to take reasonable care for the safety of people who enter onto their property.

To recover damages in most public liability cases, you must be able to prove:
- The nature of the duty of care owed.
- Breach of that duty of care.
- That the personal injury has been caused by a breach of that duty of care.

Public Liability claims have very specific parameters, and are well-legislated. There are strict time limits for the lodgement of personal injuries claims so Wyatt Attorneys encourage you to act quickly and seek legal advice. If you do no act within the required time limits, your right to claim damages will be lost.
