Injuries can happen any time, anywhere. Regardless of the circumstances of your injury, there are a few blanket laws which apply when a person is injured at a public institution. Injuries in schools, entertainment venues, shopping centres and at business premises can result in compensation payouts for the victim. It helps to know how public liability compensation claims can be made so that if you are injured in public you can start the process of claiming compensation easily and readily. 

Injuries in Schools 

Schools have a legal obligation to protect their students; this is known as a duty of care. A right to claim compensation may arise when a student is injured on-premises due to the school’s negligence. This can include during teaching hours or during before or after school care. 

When determining if the school was negligent, factors such as level of supervision, instances of faulty school equipment and the presence of obvious risk are evaluated. 

Injuries in Entertainment Venues 

If you have fallen, slipped, tripped or been pushed at an entertainment venue, you could be eligible for compensation. Venues have a legal obligation to take preventative measures to reduce the risk of incidents like these happening. If it’s found that an entertainment venue did not take the necessary precautions to prevent your injury from happening then you will win a compensation payout. 

Injuries in Shopping Centres 

In shopping centre environments, both the shopping centre manager and cleaning company have a duty of care to patrons. You can claim compensation from either one of these companies if a breach in their duty of care has resulted in you being injured. 

Injuries on Business Premises 

Generally speaking, public liability is the duty of care that a business owner or building manager has to the public. The law says that a business owner or property manager is responsible for any injuries that a person sustains on their property or as a result of their business activities.
