Claims arise from slips and falls, unsafe premises, and injuries at events or on council land. You generally need to show the occupier failed to take reasonable care. Evidence such as photos, witnesses and incident reports is important.
People injured in shops, on footpaths or at events may be entitled to compensation, but evidence disappears quickly.
Public liability claims are brought in negligence under each state's civil liability legislation, which sets thresholds for damages and defences such as obvious risk. Claims against councils have particular rules.
Understand the next step
Explain where the incident happened, who may control the premises and what was reported at the time. A lawyer will need to assess the facts and evidence rather than infer responsibility from the fact of an injury.
Ask about the cost and practicality of investigating responsibility before committing to a full claim.
When comparing Perth CBD firms, ask about the exact area of Western Australian practice relevant to your matter. For family work, the state’s separate Family Court makes it especially useful to choose a practitioner familiar with the applicable process.
For public liability, ask which parts of the work the firm handles itself and whether it has relevant WA experience. Let the lawyer know if a property, employer, other party or existing proceeding is outside Perth CBD. Your home address alone does not determine the applicable process.
Provide a chronology, relevant locations and employer or insurer details, together with forms and decisions already received.
Discuss medical, employment, incident and expense records. Ask who will obtain reports and how access, privacy and expert costs will be managed.
Have any offer, assessment or release explained before agreeing. Clarify what a resolution would cover and whether related claims need separate advice.
Ask for the written meaning of no win, no fee, including expenses, any uplift and possible other costs. The phrase alone is not enough to compare arrangements.
Ask for a written scope identifying the work you are authorising, the person responsible and when costs will be reviewed. If you only want advice on one step, say so before the firm begins wider work.
Ask early about notice, claim and review limits in the relevant scheme. Keep the incident date and every insurer decision available for assessment.
Western Australia is the only state with its own family court: the Family Court of Western Australia hears parenting and property matters for both married and de facto couples. Other matters start in the Magistrates Court, with the District and Supreme Courts for serious cases, and the State Administrative Tribunal for planning, guardianship and many licensing reviews. Lawyers are admitted and regulated by the Legal Practice Board.
Good to know
Report it, photograph the hazard, get witness details and see a doctor. Keep receipts for expenses.
Most matters start in the Magistrates Court. More serious cases go to the District Court or the Supreme Court of Western Australia. Family law matters are heard by the Family Court of Western Australia.
Practising certificates in Western Australia are managed by the Legal Practice Board of Western Australia. You can check a solicitor's status on its public register or by contacting it directly.
