What can I claim?

It’s hard enough to cope with an unexpected injury – you shouldn’t have to deal with financial pain too. Depending on your injuries, you may be entitled to payments for lost income, medical expenses, domestic assistance, pain and suffering and future losses. Call us for free advice on how much you can claim.

Common claims include:

Supermarket and shopping centre injuries

Accidents in supermarkets and shopping centres can be caused by situations like slippery floors, dropped or spilled food items and trip hazards. If you’ve been injured, our specialist public liability lawyers can help you claim all the compensation you’re entitled to.

Injuries in rental properties

Landlords and building managers have a duty of care to tenants and visitors to ensure their safety. If you’ve been injured at a rental property and it can be shown that the injury resulted from a breach of that duty, then you’re likely to be entitled to compensation.

Injuries in parks and public spaces

Parks present a range of hazardous situations that can result in injury, and over the years we’ve helped many clients who have been injured in accidents in public parks. Injuries can be caused by trip hazards like uneven paths, playground equipment, exercise equipment and maintenance works.

Recreational and sporting activity injuries

Operators of recreational facilities and sporting venues have a duty of care to ensure the safety of visitors. If an operator is negligent and you’re injured as a result, then it’s likely you can claim compensation.

This company has been very good to me in trying to get me some resources from the company where I was hurt or injured they have been very good in contacting me and they seem very knowledgeable of what they doing especially the younger lady Sarah King she is a brilliant Solicitor I would have her beside me any day to fight for me.

Unfortunately The company that I had the injury with are stating they have no information or records or video now of the accident so I have to withdraw my case because of them stating they have no information or records on my case but they’re not telling the truth because it really happened and I can’t fight goliath I’m only the little person needless to say Sarah has been really wonderful in trying to fight goliath for me so if anyone ever needs to have a good representation of a solicitor I recommend this company very very well it’s just a shame I have had to withdraw through the people saying where the accident happened they have no record it never happened but it did.

This company is a great company for people who have all the proof they need to pursue their accident case highly recommend this company

I have spent the last 3 days trying to find someone to help me during the most difficult & stressful time of my life. No one would help as they said it was too hard or too far along in the case to pick it up! Sophie was kind, genuine, honest & informative. She gave me generous time & ensured I would receive the best possible outcome. Thank you.

I can highly recommend Law Partners for Personal Injury Insurance. My lawyer Ivana Moconja worked endlessly on my very complicated case, she kept never gave up pushing my case forward with so much determination and persistency with both my insurance companies.

The communication was wonderful, Ivana kept me updated every step of the way with her progress and letting me know of how the case was going, she is great with her communication and was determined for a great outcome for me.

Without Ivana I would not have been able to deal with the 2 Insurance Companies, to win against the two insurance companies shows me or anybody else what a strong and brilliant lawyer she is.

From day one, I felt so comfortable communicating with her and knew I could trust her and believe she’d win my case.

Thank you Ivana for taking my case on, winning it, and making me feel I had a close bond with you throughout this. I truly value you, your help and will forever be thankful for helping me.

You’re truly an amazing lawyer!

I contacted Law Partners for a work-related injury compensation, I was immediately impressed by their staff’s professionalism explaining where I stand and efficiency in processing my matter. I would like to thank solicitor Natalie Pawlikowski, her team Carly and Olivia for their professionalism throughout my compensation matter. I’m so happy with the result and I highly recommend Law Partners for any work-related compensation matters.

I have approached Law Partners on multiple occasions regarding injuries I have sustained over years and have always been treated with respect and patience. I really recommend these lawyers notwithstanding the outcome of my claim. I have had to deal with a few law firms and honestly, their customer service stands out head and shoulders above others.

Frequently asked questions.

Can I claim compensation?

If you’ve been injured in an accident and incurred any treatment costs or had any time off work to recover, you’re more than likely to be eligible to claim compensation. Or if you’re unable to work because of injury or illness, then you may be able to claim a lump sum payout though your super fund.

What can I claim for?

Depending on your injuries and how they happened, you may be able to claim compensation for lost income, medical expenses, travel expenses and home help. You may also be entitled to lump sum payments for pain and suffering, permanent impairment, or future losses.

How long will my claim take?

Most personal injury claims settle within 9 to 18 months; however, some can take longer. The amount of time it takes to settle your claim is determined by:

How long it takes for your injuries to stabilise so that they can be assessed by medical experts
Whether the insurer accepts liability for your injuries
Whether we reach an agreed settlement with the insurer quickly
If we don’t reach a settlement with the insurer and need to litigate the matter, it can take longer than 18 months
