General information about slip and fall injuries on premises in NSW and common public liability claim concepts.

When slips and falls may raise liability questions

Injuries from slips on wet floors, uneven paths, or poor lighting sometimes raise questions about whether an occupier took reasonable care. Each case turns on the facts.

Evidence that often helps

Photos of the hazard, incident reports, witness details, medical records, and what warnings were present can matter. Seek medical care promptly and keep contemporaneous notes.
