Slip and trip compensation

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.

If your injury occurred on your way to or from work, during the course of your work, or during a work break, you are most likely entitled to workers’ compensation benefits (also known as WorkCover statutory benefits) while you are recovering.

Getting the right outcome from a workers’ compensation claim can be difficult and engaging legal support early on can be invaluable.

In Queensland, the Civil Liability Act 2003 (also known as the “CLA”) and its accompanying regulations govern the award of damages in relation to pure PIPA claims.

It can be difficult to navigate the provisions of the Civil Liability Act of 2003. It is therefore critical to seek legal advice to determine what compensation rights you may have under such legislation and, more importantly, whether your claim is governed by, and thus limited by, the CLA. This is something that TPIL Lawyers can help you with.

If you are injured, the legal process protects both you and others on your property. As a result, if you are a homeowner and a worker in your home is injured, such as a gardener, you may be liable to cover their injury.

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.

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.
