Frequently Asked Questions
Who is responsible for my injury?
Liability depends on who had a duty of care to you and whether they breached that duty. Occupiers of premises (including councils, businesses and property owners) have a duty to keep their premises safe for visitors.
What if I was partly at fault?
Victorian law allows for contributory negligence — your compensation may be reduced proportionally if you were partly responsible. However, you can still recover compensation even if you were partly at fault.
How long do I have to make a public liability claim?
In Victoria, you generally have 3 years from the date of injury to commence a claim. However, for minors and those with a disability, different rules apply. Contact us promptly — don't let your claim expire.
