Most public places are fully insured. When you make a public liability claim, in most cases, the defendants or their insurers may readily have a panel of lawyers in place to fight against your claim.
It is also common in some public liability claims, it involves not only one but multiple parties that are all insured and with their own legal teams.

Can I make a public liability claim in WA?
You can make a public liability claim if you are injured as a result of someone elses negligence in Western Australia. Usually personal injury lawyers will only act regarding that claim if the person or company who caused the accident is insured.
Public liability claims often rely on the Occupiers Liability Act 1985 which imposes an obligation on an occupier of premises regarding dangers which are due to the state of the premises or to anything done or omitted to be done on the premises. The Act says that the obligation owed to a person entering on the premises is to take reasonable to see that that person will not suffer injury or damage by reason of any such danger.
Public liability claims are usually more difficult than other claims like motor vehicle claims or workers compensation claims and it is often necessary to commence legal proceedings before any compensation is paid.

Benefits of Engaging No Win No Fee Lawyers at Foyle Legal
The usual procedure when you engage a lawyer is the lawyer charges you on a regular basis for work done regardless of whether you win or lose. A no win no fee lawyer will only charge you a fee if you are successful in settling your claim for compensation or obtaining a successful judgement. The no win no fee arrangement does not mean you have nothing to lose. If you go to trial and lose then you will have to pay the other party’s legal costs and disbursements such as court costs and medical costs.
