Most injured people looking to claim slip and fall compensation have been injured because of: 

1. Falling downstairs 
2. Wet or slippery floors 
3. Uneven or defective floor surfaces 
4. Dimly lit areas 
5. Obstruction on floors or surfaces (such as electrical cords)
   

There are other injuries that are eligible for compensation. Contact one of our personal injury lawyers today to discuss your options. 

As with most compensation claims, slip and fall claims are subject to a strict time limit. In Queensland, the time limit is three years from the date of the incident. If you would like to make a slip and fall claim and are within the appropriate time frame, get in touch with us. 

Everyone is affected differently by injuries. A minor injury to one person can have a far-reaching impact on another, so compensation amounts for injuries vary from case to case. 

The goal of compensation is to compensate an injured party for the loss and damage they have suffered and will continue to suffer as a result of the injury. The greater the impact of the injury or injuries on your pre-accident lifestyle and employment, the more compensation you will receive. Because compensation and damages payments for personal injury claims are complex, it isn’t possible to state a specific compensation amount for a specific injury, though you can estimate with our compensation calculator. 

Accidents or injuries resulting from the wrongful or negligent act or omission of another party, not falling within the province of motor vehicle or work accidents, are usually referred to as “public liability claims”, “PIPA claim” or a “common law claim for damages”.  

These claims are brought under the provisions of the Personal Injury Proceedings Act 2002 (PIPA) QLD, which governs these types of claims in the state of Queensland. 

TPIL Lawyers’ dedicated team specialise in PIPA claims and can help you navigate the legal processes involved and ensure you receive the compensation and damages you are entitled to under the legislation. 

TPIL Lawyers are available to discuss your case and provide guidance and information from our Brisbane and Gold Coast offices, serving all of Queensland. 

Generally, claims of this type take up to a year or more to settle. As each claim is as unique as the individual behind it, the length of your claim will depend on its specific circumstances, the severity of your injuries and the claim’s complexities. 

TPIL Lawyers have been in business for over forty years and are long-standing proud members of the organisations and groups listed below. We want our clients to feel comfortable and respected, which is why we put their best interests first throughout every stage of the claims process.
