Here To Help

Have you been injured in a slip, trip or fall on public land or private property? If the incident occurred due to poor upkeep or unsafe conditions, you may be entitled to seek compensation.


Property owners and occupiers are expected to take reasonable steps to keep their premises safe for visitors, customers, or members of the public. This includes identifying and addressing potential hazards before they cause harm. Time limits do apply, so it’s important to get advice early. The team at Kells can assist you throughout the claims process.

How Can Our “No Win, No Fee” Shellharbour Public Liability Lawyers Help?

Your outcome matters to us. At Kells, we offer no win, no fee representation along with professional, personalised support every step of the way.

If you’ve been hurt due to a slip, fall or other incident on public or private property, you may have grounds to pursue compensation. To proceed, it must be shown that the injury occurred because the property owner or occupier failed to meet their duty of care.


Common public liability claims include:



  • Slip and falls
  • Sporting accidents
  • Accidents at school or university
  • Injuries at another’s premises (rental)
  • Dog attacks


Strict timeframes apply to these types of claims, so acting promptly is important to protect your entitlements.


Accidents in public spaces can happen suddenly and leave a lasting impact. The financial burden often includes medical bills, lost income and other expenses. In these cases, understanding what insurance applies is key. Some policies are activated by the event itself, while others may not apply. Dealing with insurers can also be difficult, especially when they dispute claims or try to minimise payouts.


To help you recover properly, a well-structured approach and strong supporting evidence are critical. At Kells, we’ll assess your situation and let you know if a claim is worth pursuing. If you do have a case, we’ll represent you under a no win, no fee arrangement.
