Our Approach to Public Liability Injury Claims

Pursuing public liability claims in smaller communities can feel challenging due to local relationships and economic considerations. We handle these matters with appropriate sensitivity while never compromising on your right to fair compensation. 

Local Knowledge

Our community relationships help us obtain crucial evidence and documentation more efficiently than metropolitan firms could manage. We quickly conduct site inspections and gather local witnesses who might be reluctant to speak with out-of-town lawyers. 

Accessible & Flexible

We operate from 7 regional centres across Western Australia, offering you quicker appointment times and greater flexibility. We know how an injury can impact mobility, so we’re available to visit you at home when needed.

Metropolitan Connections

When your case requires specialist expertise – engineering reports, safety consultants or experienced litigation barristers – our partnership with Ryan Carlisle Thomas ensures you receive metropolitan-quality representation. 

Expert Testimony

Most cases settle through negotiation, but we prepare every public liability case as if it’s going to court, ensuring we have the evidence and expert testimony needed to prove negligence and secure fair compensation. 

No Win, No Fee OR Expenses Public Liability Lawyers

Under our No Win No Fee OR Expenses* policy, we will waive our fees in the unlikely event you don’t win a case that we have agreed to fund, and we will also pick up the tab on any out-of-pocket expenses.
