Imagine this scenario: you go to an outdoor entertainment venue where you participate in a fun day of quad biking with friends and family. However, not long before the end of the day you or a family member has an accident with the quad bike which results in serious injury. In the ensuing chaos of getting an ambulance and calming everyone down you forget to enquire about the responsibility of the venue in cases as these. When you phone the next day or so to find out, you find out that they have a general disclaimer when you enter that they are not responsible for any injury or death. While many places think that this type of disclaimer can protect them, they are wrong. If the company or venue is found to be guilty of any sort of negligence they can soon be looking at a number of public liability claims. Public liability claims consist of bodily injury or death of someone, or the damage to property.
What many people don’t realise is that most short-term insurance contracts do offer protection for this type of claim. However, if you wanting to pursue a case such as this you must be aware that it can take a while before it will go to court and a decision is made. If you have been in a situation as described above or similar, get as much information as possible and get into contact with Adele van der Walt Attorneys. We have years of experience in public liability claims and will be able to give you expert guidance and advice from the start of the process until a decision is reached.
