How much can I claim for a restaurant/hotel injury?
Compensation payouts range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Depending on the severity of your injuries, the total compensation amount can include:
| Lost income | The amount of income you’ve lost through time off work. |
| Medical expenses | Resulting from your injuries. |
| Travel expenses | To and from medical appointments and treatment. |
| Domestic assistance | The cost of getting help with home duties. |
| Pain and suffering | An amount to compensate you for your pain and suffering, based on the extent of your injuries. |
| Future losses |
For example, your future earnings that you will miss out on as a result of your injuries. If you can’t work, you may also be entitled to a lump sum TPD payment through your superfund. |
| Permanent impairment | An amount to cover your loss of functionality or limitation of movement of a part of your body. |
How we can help you.
Your Law Partners public liability lawyer will contact the relevant public liability insurer on your behalf, and then:
Gather evidence of your accident, which may include photos of the hazard that caused your fall, CCTV footage, statements from witnesses and accident reports from the restaurant, hotel or cafe.
Have your injuries assessed by a doctor. We need medical evidence such as scans and x-rays to prove what injuries you suffered from the accident.
Once we’ve submitted your compensation claim, if the public liability insurer accepts liability, then it’s likely it will offer you a settlement payment. Most of our restaurant/hotel negligence claims are settled without the need for court action.
If the insurer rejects liability or we’re unable to settle out of court, we may need to take court action to get your compensation.
Frequently asked questions.
Injuries from accidents at fast-food chains like McDonalds, Hungry Jacks and KFC are quite common, as they tend to be very busy and hazards like spillages can be missed, causing customers to slip and fall. If you’ve been injured at a fast-food chain in a slip and fall or any other accident, and you’ve needed time off work or treatment, you may be entitled to compensation.
Your Law Partners public liability lawyer will gather all the evidence we need to support your claim.
This could include:
- Photos of the hazard that caused your accident
- CCTV footage
- Statements from witnesses
- Accident reports from the hospitality venue
- A doctor’s assessment of your injuries
- Other medical evidence such as scans and x-rays to prove what injuries you suffered
When you make a public liability claim, you’re claiming the defendant is liable for your injuries. If the defendant admits liability, then their public liability insurer is likely to offer you a sum of money as compensation – this is known as a settlement. If you can’t come to an agreement on the settlement amount, or if the defendant denies liability, then you have the option of taking them to court and letting a judge decide on the outcome – this is known as litigation.
Most of our claims are settled out of court. Your Law Partners public liability lawyer will keep you informed about your claim regularly and advise you on your options.
