Slipped, Tripped or Fallen in a Public Place? Your Rights Under NSW Public Liability Law
A slip, trip, or fall in a public place can happen in a second and leave you dealing with the consequences for months or years. A wet supermarket floor with no warning sign. An uneven council footpath that catches your foot. A restaurant spill left unattended during a busy service. A poorly lit stairwell in a shopping centre. If you have been injured in a public place or on someone else’s premises due to conditions that should have been made safe, you may have a right to compensation under NSW public liability law. This guide explains everything you need to know.
