What is public liability?
Public liability covers a wide range of incidents, not just those occurring in public places. It applies whenever someone else breaches their duty of care, resulting in injury or loss.
Duty of Care refers to the legal obligation of property owners, business operators, and manufacturers to ensure the safety of others by addressing foreseeable risks. Some common examples of duty of care include:
- A store owner must repair a torn carpet to prevent customers from tripping.
- Manufacturers must produce safe-to-use products and include warnings about potential risks.
If these obligations are neglected and someone is injured as a result, they may be entitled to claim public liability compensation.

How to make a public liability claim
Public liability claims must be lodged within strict time limits, and the process can be complex. When you engage Goodman Spring, your dedicated public liability lawyer will:
- Establish Responsibility: Identify the party responsible for the injury.
- Prove Breach of Duty of Care: Show that the responsible party failed in their duty of care. For instance, failing to put up a “wet floor” sign after cleaning could constitute negligence.
- Assess Economic Loss: Demonstrate how the injury has impacted your past and future income, as well as your quality of life.
Once these elements are proven, we’ll open your case under our no-win, no-fee policy and build a strong claim on your behalf, helping you to receive the compensation you deserve.

Types of compensation in public liability claims
Each state in Australia has a threshold for claiming non-economic loss (pain and suffering), determined by the degree of physical impairment caused by the injury. This impairment must significantly impact your quality of life or ability to enjoy it. Successful public liability claims may cover the following areas:
