Public Liability Claims and Motor Vehicle Accident Injury Claims may entitle you to compensation if you’ve been hurt due to negligence
What Are Public Liability Claims?
Public liability claims cover injuries that occur in public places or private premises due to unsafe conditions or negligence. This includes slips, trips, falls, and other injuries that could have been prevented.
For instance, if you’ve sustained an injury while shopping, walking in a park, visiting a venue, or on someone’s property due to someone else’s fault, you may be eligible for Public Liability Claims. We’re here to guide you through the process with expert medical support and the necessary documentation.

A public liability claim arises when you are injured or your property is damaged due to the negligence of a business or property owner. For example, if you trip on a poorly maintained public footpath or are hurt by a falling object in a store, you may be able to claim compensation. This financial support is intended to cover your medical bills, lost income, and other hardships resulting from an accident that wasn't your fault.
It is vital to act fast, as you typically have three years in NSW from the date you discover your injury was caused by someone else's negligence to file a claim. If you wait too long, you could lose your right to compensation forever, which makes getting prompt legal advice essential. To properly document your injuries for a claim, the experienced medical team at WorkCover Hills Doctor can provide the thorough assessments and reports you'll need.
Think of public liability insurance as a shield that protects your business from causing accidental harm to the public, not as a solution for every problem. It won't cover injuries to your own staff, as that's what workers' compensation is for, nor will it cover claims against your professional advice, which requires professional indemnity insurance. It also excludes incidents involving business vehicles or intentional damage, keeping its focus on public safety.
Yes, you can. In Australia, public liability insurance premiums are seen as a standard and necessary cost of running a business, which makes them tax-deductible. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) allows you to claim these premiums as a business expense incurred while earning your income. To be safe, always keep clear records of your insurance payments and confirm with your accountant at tax time.
