Public Venue Incident Claims

If you sustain a personal injury which is caused by physical assault at a public venue, you may be able to make a common law claim. Queensland Compensation Lawyers can ensure your rights are upheld in these claims.

For example, imagine you were being harassed in the bar of a hotel by an intoxicated patron. If after complaining repeatedly to the bar staff about this harassment, you were assaulted and suffered severe injuries, you would have a case as the bar staff did not take reasonable care of your safety and prevent foreseeable injuries.

Personal assaults of this type are covered by two acts: Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 and the Civil Liability Act 2003. Negligence must be proven to make a successful claim.

In order to demonstrate fault, Queensland Compensation Lawyers would need to investigate your case. We would seek evidence from witnesses and medical practitioners. We will require photographs of your injuries and medical records.
