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 you’re injured in an accident like a slip and fall at a supermarket or shopping centre, management can be held liable if they knew or should have known about the hazard and did nothing about it.
We’ve helped many people get compensation for shopping centre accident injuries, but we understand your situation is unique, and you’re different from every one of them. Getting you more compensation starts with building a personal relationship with you, 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.
Supermarket and shopping centre fall 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:
Your Law Partners public injury lawyer will:
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.
If you’ve been injured in a supermarket or shopping centre, it’s likely your compensation claim will be successful if:
We have extensive experience with Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, Westfield and other shopping centre compensation claims, and we win over 99% of our cases. We can advise you over the phone on whether your claim is likely to succeed.
No win no fee public injury lawyers offer to run your case for you and only get paid when you win. If you choose the right lawyer, it’s an excellent option that allows you to pursue your claim without any risk, but it’s important to check the lawyer’s costs agreement to fully understand what’s covered. With some no win no fee lawyers you can still end up having to pay thousands of dollars in disbursements if your case is unsuccessful. This is because their no win no fee agreements cover their professional fees but not the costs they incur. At Law Partners, our no win no fee, no disbursements guarantee covers all our costs and disbursements as well as our professional fees, so you can pursue your claim with peace of mind.
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 we can’t come to an agreement on the settlement amount, or if the defendant denies liability, then we 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 injury lawyer will keep you informed about your claim regularly and advise you on your options.
Caring for our clients drives everything we do – that’s why thousands of Australians every year choose Law Partners.
