Public Liability Lawyers – No Win No Fee

Claims need to be lodged within a certain timeframe and the process for receiving compensation can be complex. First you need to establish who is responsible for your injury, we then need to show there was a lack of duty of care, for example a wet floor but no signs or warnings in place. Once these two points are established the final point is your economic loss and future economic loss, and how your injury will affect your life moving forward. Once we have established and have proof of the above points we will open a file and prepare the case for you at a NO WIN NO FEE policy. Here are also 7 important steps to take if you suffer a slip and fall injury.

Those who own businesses and homes both have a duty of care to anyone who comes onto their property, to ensure there are no reasonably foreseen dangers. For instance, a clothing store has a duty of care to ensure a tear in the carpet does not remain to trip customers, who might then be injured.

Those who manufacture products owe a duty of care to those who buy them. This means that the products must be reasonably safe for others to use. Products should also carry warnings about any potential dangers that can result from using the product.

There are five points a public liability claim can be compensated for in a successful claims process. The following are these points.

• Economic loss – Past and Future loss of income or earning
• Non-Economic Loss – This is for pain and suffering with a maximum claim of up to $800,000.
• Medical Costs – Past and future medical expenses will be covered
• Domestic Care – Past and future domestic care expenses will be covered
• Costs – All legal cost and expenses will be covered.

Each State in Australia has a threshold in order to claim pain & suffering (Non-Economic Loss), this is calculated by physical impairment you have suffered due to the injury you sustained that may affect quality or enjoyment of life.
