Slip, Trip & Fall Claims In Queensland

When A Simple Fall Becomes A Serious Injury

One slip on a wet floor or stumble on a broken step can leave you with weeks of pain, medical bills & lost income. Many people blame themselves, yet falls often happen because a hazard wasn’t cleaned up, repaired or signposted.

We’ll find out what caused your fall & explain whether compensation may be available.

Where Falls Commonly Happen

Slips, trips & falls can occur almost anywhere, from supermarket aisles & car parks to stairwells, footpaths & rental homes.

We’ll identify who managed the area, so your claim goes to the right party.

Showing The Hazard Wasn’t Managed

Compensation generally depends on showing the business or property owner knew, or should have known, about the hazard and didn’t deal with it.

We’ll request cleaning logs, maintenance records & other evidence that may show how long the hazard was there.

Worried You Weren’t Watching Your Step?

Insurers sometimes argue a hazard was obvious or that you should have taken more care. These arguments may reduce compensation, but they don’t automatically rule out a claim.

We’ll answer these arguments with evidence & give you a realistic assessment.

Why Speed Matters After A Fall

Strict time limits govern Queensland public liability claims. Meanwhile, spills may be cleaned up & damaged surfaces repaired within hours.

Key Things To Know About Slip, Trip & Fall Claims

01

See A Doctor, Even After A Minor Fall

Concussion, hairline fractures & other fall injuries may only become obvious days later.

A prompt medical record links your injury to the incident. We’ll help gather the medical records needed to support your claim.

02

Collect Witness Details

Ask anyone who saw what happened for their name & phone number.

Independent witnesses can confirm the hazard was there. We’ll follow up for their statements.

03

Keep The Shoes You Were Wearing

Insurers may question what you were wearing, so store the shoes from that day without cleaning or repairing them.

Where relevant, we’ll use them to answer any suggestion your footwear contributed to the fall.

Time Limits Matter

Queensland fall claims carry strict notice & limitation deadlines, and extra rules may apply to councils or injured children.
