Frequently asked questions
Want to know more?
Who can claim personal injury compensation?
Anybody who is injured due to an accident that happened in a public place or residential premise, that was in no way their fault, might be able to claim compensation. A lawyer will be able to help you determine if you have a case.
Can I claim slip and fall injuries?
When it comes to establishing compensation claims, legal liability or someone else’s negligence has to be shown for your claim to be successful. Your slip and fall claim will be thoroughly investigated and evidence collected to make sure you have reasonable chances of a successful claim.
A proper and thorough investigation of the slip and fall claim is required in order to collect evidence and determine if you have a reasonable likelihood of success. Turner Freeman’s experienced personal injury lawyers will provide an obligation free investigation for you.
Why do I need a lawyer?
Our experienced public liability lawyers on the Gold Coast will determine whether or not you have a claim that could be potentially successful. They will work with you through every step of the legal process and act for you on a No Win No Fee basis.
How much compensation can I claim for?
What you are eligible to claim compensation for will depend on the circumstances of your compensation claim.
You could be eligible for:
- Lost wages
- Expenses for medical bills
- Rehabilitation expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Future lost wages and medical treatment
What are the time limits involved?
There are strict time limits to bringing forth a claim.
When do I need to begin my public liability claim?
As a general rule, you must begin the public liability claim process three years from the time that you suffered the accident or injury. This is why you should seek legal advice quickly.
What happens if I don’t make the claim in time?
If you don’t get your claim lodged within the initial time limit, you can still make a compensation claim. But you will be required to give a reason for the lag in submitting your claim.
One of the many benefits of working with a personal injury lawyer is that it will become your lawyers responsibility to monitor the timing of the claim and ensure everything is submitted in a timely manner.
What is your fee policy?
We are a No Win No Fee compensation firm. This means you won’t be billed our professional fees unless we win your public liability claim. If your claim is unsuccessful, you won’t pay any fees.
What are the medical costs and rehabilitation expenses?
After we have put forward your claim for compensation, we can request that the respondent/defendant pay for your medical bills and/or rehabilitation costs. If they have a public liability insurance policy, the public liability insurance company might decide to cover some of these expenses, but they are not legally obligated to do this.
People who have private health insurance can make an insurance claim to cover their medical expenses throughout the compensation claim process. Once the claim has been finalised, your lawyer can pursue this amount from the defendant/respondent.
For those that do not have private health insurance you can receive medical treatment from local medical treatment providers and we will claim for any out-of-pocket expenses as a part of your public liability claims process.
Will I have to go to court?
It has been the experience of our lawyers that it is very rare for most public liability claims to proceed to court. Only a very small percentage of cases end up proceeding to trial which is good for everyone involved.
