Do I have an Occupier's Liability claim and what is involved?

If you have been injured on a property due to negligence by the owner or occupier of that place, then you may be entitled to compensation.

This may include a retail outlet, service centre, public building or private property and if the person or organisation which controls that place did not take proper care for your safety, then you may be able to claim for your injury. In most cases, such injuries are covered by public liability insurance.

Our first interview is free so you can assess whether or not you have a claim.

If you have a claim, then we will negotiate directly with the occupier or their insurance company.

If you have a claim, then we will advise you what you can claim and negotiate directly with the third-party insurer on your behalf. Our advice will consider your pain and suffering, lost wages, help from family members, medical expenses and if relevant, your lost earning capacity. We will assess your claim in detail and protect your rights.

It is difficult to estimate how long it will take to finalise your claim. We do understand the importance of a quick resolution, so we will work closely with you to progress the claim. We are here to help you.
