PERSONAL
INJURY CLAIMS
Expert legal guidance when you have suffered harm because of another person’s or organisation’s negligence or wrongful conduct.
UNDERSTANDING PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS
Personal injury matters can arise in many situations where a person suffers harm because of the actions, negligence or failure to take reasonable care by someone else, a business or a property owner.
Every case requires careful investigation to understand what happened, whether reasonable care was taken, who may be responsible and what loss or harm resulted.
An injury by itself does not automatically mean that someone else is legally responsible.
SLIP & FALL INJURIES
Slip-and-fall injuries can result from slipping, tripping or falling because of a flawed walking surface, a slippery surface, weather conditions, a spill or an obstruction.
Common examples include spills in shopping aisles, unsafe walking surfaces and protruding objects or equipment in parking areas.
Injuries may range from bruising to fractures and other serious harm.
COMMON SITUATIONS THAT MAY REQUIRE INVESTIGATION
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Claims arising when negligent medical treatment or care causes injury, disability or loss—including cerebral palsy caused by negligence during pregnancy, labour or childbirth.
ASSAULT AND WRONGFUL CONDUCT
Claims involving physical or psychological harm caused by assault, unlawful arrest or detention, or other wrongful conduct.
PUBLIC LIABILITY CLAIMS
Claims for injuries caused by unsafe premises or public spaces, including slips and falls, dangerous surfaces, inadequate safety measures and other preventable hazards.
ANIMAL ATTACKS
Claims involving dog bites or injuries caused by other animals where the owner may be held legally responsible.
NOT EVERY FALL RESULTS IN A VALID CLAIM
Each matter requires a detailed factual assessment. Simply falling on someone else’s premises does not guarantee a claim.
Responsibility may depend on what caused the injury and whether reasonable precautions were taken. Businesses and property owners may rely on warnings, procedures, contracts or indemnities.
The medical evidence and the financial and personal effect of the injury must also be considered.
Photographs, incident reports, witness details, medical records and proof of financial loss may assist in assessing the matter.
The strength of the claim depends on the evidence and the particular circumstances.
CONTINGENCY FEE ARRANGEMENTS
Where appropriate, certain personal injury matters may be handled on a no-success, no-fee contingency basis.
Whether this arrangement is available will depend on the merits, seriousness and likely value of the claim.
Terms and conditions apply.
