Public Liability 

Public and more generally liability claims arise where an alleged failure to take reasonable care results in property damage, death or injury. 

Each loss incident and resultant claim is different. The law applying to claims is complex and the factors relevant to bringing and defending claims vary depending on the parties involved and the circumstances of loss or injury. To bring, defend or successfully prevent claims a thorough knowledge of the law, available remedies and practical prevention and minimisation strategies is essential.
