Hotel, Restaurant & Venue Injury Claims In Queensland

When A Good Occasion Ends In Injury

A dinner with friends, a weekend away or a special celebration should leave you with good memories. An unexpected injury can change that, leaving you to manage pain, recovery & expenses you hadn’t planned for.

We’ll help you understand whether the venue may be responsible & explain your options for compensation.

Why Us
Rin Kim Intro 1.jpg

What Venues Owe Their Guests

Hotels, restaurants & event venues are generally expected to keep floors, stairs, furniture & fittings in safe condition.

We’ll assess how the venue managed those risks, helping you understand whether you may have a claim before you commit to anything.

Operator, Owner Or Organiser?

Depending on the venue, responsibility may rest with the operator, the property owner, an event organiser or a contractor.

We’ll work out which party controlled the area, so time isn’t lost pursuing the wrong one.

Had A Drink Or Two?

Insurers sometimes point to alcohol to reduce or deny claims. Having a drink doesn’t automatically rule out compensation, though it may affect the outcome.

We’ll challenge these arguments where the evidence supports doing so.

The Sooner You Act, The More We Can Do

Queensland public liability claims have strict time limits, and hazards may be fixed & witnesses’ recollections can fade before a claim gets underway.

Request Your Free Case Review, & a senior lawyer will contact you within 24 hours to explain the time limits that apply to your claim & advise on gathering witness evidence.
