A man was standing outside a doctor’s office leaning up against a stairway handrail when it suddenly gave way and the client fell backward to the ground. The man contacted Gerard Malouf and Partners to find out whether he had any rights to bring a claim for compensation. He was advised at the time of his call that he could bring a claim and a consultation was arranged for him at our Parramatta office for his first consultation with one of our personal injury solicitors.
The client signed up with GMP by signing our “No Win, No Fee” Costs Agreement. Upon signing the Costs Agreement, we immediately wrote to the doctor’s office issuing a letter of demand.
A barrister was briefed and provided advice on liability and evidence that should be obtain in support of the client’s case. In accordance with our pro-active case management, proceedings were commenced in the District Court of New South Wales. An expert liability report was commissioned by Gerard Malouf and Partners and medical assessments arranged with a forensic psychiatrist, orthopaedic surgeon and occupational therapist.
Public liability refers to the responsibilities owners or occupants of a public space have to protect anyone who enters. If the owners or occupants fall short of these responsibilities, resulting in an injury, a case for compensation can be made.
Some of the most common incidents covered by public liability law include:
Following an initial meeting, the first task will be to establish the general facts of the case. This will include your medical diagnosis, which will need to be confirmed and documented by a doctor; and proof that the person or company at fault owed you a duty of care, which will need to be demonstrated. Together, this will show that your injury occurred when they breached that duty of care.
From there a further investigation will proceed—contacting and interviewing witnesses, speaking with expert consultants, and more—all in order to bolster the strength of your case even further. Only once this process is complete, and your claim can be demonstrated and proven in full, will the process move on to the next step.
Public liability claims enable you to recoup the financial and emotional costs of suffering an injury due to someone else’s negligence. Defendants regularly offer monetary settlements to claimants, particularly if they acknowledge liability and believe they would lose in court.
But should you accept the settlement or proceed to the later stages of litigation instead, where a judge will have the final decision? Every case is different, but here are some of the factors you may wish to consider before making your choice:
