Why Most Public Liability Claims Fail (And How to Avoid It)

You’ve likely heard the stories, someone gets injured in public, makes a claim, and ends up with nothing. Unfortunately, it’s true: many public liability claims fail. But not because the injury wasn’t real. It’s usually because the case wasn’t built properly.

Here are the three most common reasons claims are rejected:

 1. Lack of evidence

No photos, no witness details, and no medical records? Insurers will argue there’s no proof the injury happened or that the space was unsafe.

 2. Missed time limits

Public liability claims in NSW come with strict deadlines. If you wait too long to act, you may lose your right to compensation entirely.

3. Poor legal guidance.

Some firms take on too many clients and rush cases without digging deep. Weak claims get weak outcomes.
