Public liability claims FAQs
What is public liability insurance?
Public liability insurance covers property owners or occupiers of premises in the event that someone is injured on their property. It must be shown that:
The property owner owed a duty of care
The duty of care was breached
Because of the breach of duty of care, someone was injured
What Is duty of care?
A duty of care refers to the legal obligation to take all reasonable steps to avoid causing foreseeable harm to someone or your property. It’s important to note that a duty of care isn’t necessarily owed on each case. A property owner (person, business or government entity) owes someone coming onto their property a duty of care. The risk of ‘reasonably foreseeable’ harm is if a reasonable person in the property owner’s position:
Should have known of the potential risk of injury (without the benefit of hindsight)
Would have done something (or not done something) differently to the property owner, to reduce the potential risk of injury
An example of a duty of care might be that owed by a theme park owner to visitors to ensure their rides are safe, operate correctly and are regularly reviewed and maintained.
Am I eligible for compensation if I’m partly at fault for the injury?
