Have you recently been out in public and sustained an injury? This injury could be something as small as twisting your ankle after tripping over raised concrete on a footpath, to breaking a bone after slipping on a freshly mopped floor at your local shopping centre.
With an increased number of people walking it is more likely that we may encounter defects along the footpath, nature strip, or our favourite walking track. Do you know what to do if you trip or slip?
My concern for personal safety in public areas stem from an incident when I was 15 years old. Even though I had no one to blame but myself, this incident has changed my attitude towards unforeseen dangers in public.
If you have tripped, slipped, fallen or even had something fall on you (or been injured by other means in a public domain), you may be entitled to make a Public Liability Claim.
