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.

E-Bikes and scooters: know your legal rights

By Remy Rovere, Lawyer • February 4, 2026
In the last few years, the number of people who own and operate electric bikes and scooters has risen. As these electric bikes and scooters become more affordable many people are choosing to upgrade from their previously non-electric counterparts to speed up their method of transport. Not to mention, these electric bikes and scooters can be fun. Although there has always been the possibility of road accidents for non-electric bikes and scooters – many of us now ask ourselves – ‘are these electric bikes and scooters more dangerous than the non-electric ones’? Although this a complex question and not one that this article will answer the reality is – what are your legal rights and entitlements if you are involved in an accident and injured while riding an electric bike or scooter. Fortunately, in New South Wales, if you have been injured in an accident while riding your electric bike or scooter (or even if you were a passenger) or if you have been injured as a result of being in an accident with an electric bike or scooter – you may be entitled to compensation. Your potential entitlements to compensation may include: payment of your regular weekly salary while you recover; treatment expenses; a claim for pain and suffering; and where you may not be able to return to work indefinitely, a claim for your future economic loss. Road accidents can be serious and lifechanging. It is important that you seek legal advice early with respect to your rights and entitlements to motor accident claims, especially within the first three months since the date of your injury. Here at Kells, our compensation team is always ready and happy to help people with advice that they need to navigate their rights and entitlements after an injury. If you, or somebody you know, have been injured while riding your electric (or non-electric) bike or scooter, and need help or advice navigating rights and entitlements to compensation, please reach out – we are here to help and are only a phone call or online enquiry away.
