Personal injury is a term used to refer to physical or psychological harm. Any person who has been injured within Australia, as the result of another party’s negligence can claim for personal injuries compensation. At Pentana Stanton Lawyers, We are personal injury experts who understand the law. Australians can claim compensation if involved in an accident that causes personal injuries. Note, each state has different Compensation Laws.
If you are injured and the accident was not your fault you may have an entitlement to claim compensation against an individual or an organization.
An injury may occur at the supermarket, cinema, footpaths, parks, restaurants, rental property, supermarkets, playgrounds schoolyard or from medical treatment.
A common cause is a slip, trip or a fall due to liquid spillages, hazards or from the surface or terrain.
It is important to get immediate medical treatment and to have the injuries and medical treatment documented by a doctor and to retain receipts for expenses.
Public liability and other negligence claims are often complex and are vigorously defended by insurers.
To get compensation for the conduct of an individual or an organization you must establish “fault” or “negligence”.
You may be entitled to claim compensation for;
- Pain and suffering damages;
- Past and future income loss and superannuation;
- Past and future medical expenses
A claim for pain and suffering damages you must also establish that you suffered a “significant injury”.
Pentana Stanton Lawyers can advise whether an individual or an organization is at “fault” or “negligent” and whether the injuries are likely to qualify as a “significant injury”.
In Victoria there are strict time limits associated with bringing a claim for damages and most people have 3 years to start a claim for damages in the Courts.
At Pentana Stanton Lawyers we offer to investigate the claim on a no win / no fee basis. We do not seek professional fees (claim investigation expenses excluded) for our time unless there is a successful outcome. No professional fees are payable if a claim is not pursued after we complete our evaluation.
