Who Is Responsible When You’re Injured on Someone Else’s Property in NSW?
You don’t have to be in a shopping centre or on a public footpath to suffer a serious injury that gives rise to a compensation claim. Injuries on private property — a friend’s home, a rental premises, a sporting club, a tradesperson’s worksite, a community hall — can all give rise to legal claims under NSW’s occupier liability framework. Understanding who is legally responsible for your safety when you enter someone else’s property is the essential starting point for any such claim.
