Funding for slip-and-fall and public liability claims
Injured in a shop, on a footpath, in a restaurant, on a building site you were visiting? If a lawyer is running a public liability claim for you, we can fund the wait.
What this funding is for
Public liability claims hinge on whether the operator’s duty of care was breached and whether your loss is well documented. Investigation and negotiation can take 12–24 months. Lawfunder funds the interim so you don’t have to settle early for less than your claim is worth.
Common situations we fund
- Slip, trip or fall in a shopping centre, supermarket or hospitality venue
- Injury at a council park, footpath or public facility
- Tradesperson or visitor injury at a third-party premises
- Recreational, sporting or event-related injury caused by another’s negligence
- Dog bite, animal attack or assault on premises with an occupier’s duty
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an admission of liability before applying?
No, but the stronger the case the easier funding becomes. Our pre-qualifying form asks about liability status and your lawyer’s view of prospects.
Is there a minimum claim value?
We fund loans from $5,001 upwards, capped at 30% of the estimated settlement so you keep most of your outcome.
What if my lawyer is on a no-win-no-fee arrangement?
That’s the norm and works smoothly with our funding. We register an Irrevocable Authority and Common Interest Agreement so repayment comes out of the settlement at distribution.
