Public liability covers a wide range of circumstances in which someone is injured because of the negligence or breach of duty of someone else. This includes many types of accidents including a slip and fall. Individuals, businesses and organisations have a ‘duty of care’ to ensure the safety of people.

If you are a victim of crime, the injuries can be severe and long-lasting, often staying with survivors throughout their lifetime. However, you may be entitled to compensation to support you and there are a number of courses of action which a victim of crime can take.

Medical negligence—or medical malpractice—happens when treatment falls below an acceptable standard. A medical provider can include a hospital, doctor, nurse, assistant, lab personnel, dentist, pharmacist or other employer or allied health professional. They have a ‘duty of care’, if they breach that duty, they may be liable for the damages and you may be able to claim compensation.

If you’ve had an injury or an illness and are unable to work, you may be entitled to claim early access to your superannuation funds or to some elements of your insurance. If you would like more information visit our Superannuation page.
