We are personal compensation lawyers for public liability claims in Tasmania. If you sustain an injury in any public place, there may be an option for you to pursue a public liability claim for compensation. You may have sustained your injury in a place controlled by a private person/entity (for example, a supermarket) or a government authority (for example, on a council-controlled footpath or playground). You will need to show that your injury happened because of someone else’s negligence.
