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