Joseph's Story
I thought I'd never get my life back
Restaurant owner Joseph had his life turned upside down after a horrible slip in a public toilet.
If your child has been injured at school, the school can be held liable if they knew or should have known about the hazard that caused the accident and did nothing to prevent it.
We’ve helped many people get compensation for school accident injuries, but we understand your situation is unique, and you’re different from every one of them. Helping you claim more compensation on behalf of your child starts with building a personal relationship with your family, to truly understand your situation.
There’s no cost to speak to a public liability lawyer, tell your side of the story, and find out how much you can claim.
School injury compensation payouts range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Depending on the severity of your child’s injuries, the total compensation amount can include:

Your public liability lawyer is backed by a team of specialists including paralegals, medico-legal experts, forensic accountants and barristers. Your team will work hard for you, check in with you regularly and always keep you up to date with your case. You’re in safe hands with Australia’s largest specialist personal injury firm.
Yes – if your child was under the supervision of the school, then it doesn’t matter where the injury happened, the school still owes a duty of care to your child. So if they failed in that duty of care and your child was injured, you can still make a claim for compensation.
Many sports and activities have inherent risks, and if your child participates in them you are no doubt well aware of the risks. However, if your child’s injury was caused by the school’s negligence, you may be able to claim compensation. For example, if your child was participating in a school rock climbing trip and was injured because of poor supervision by the teacher responsible for the students, then you may be able to claim compensation.
