Personal Injury—Compensation & Claim in South Australia

There is often injury sustained through no fault of your own. You could slip on a damp supermarket floor, damage a tooth due to a cherry stone left in a sauce, or be a passenger in a motor vehicle accident. The effects of these incidents may range from comparatively minor inconveniences to life-changing events. Equally, you may be involved in a workplace injury involving unsafe equipment or inadequate workplace safety procedures.

The injury may cause ongoing trauma, stress and psychological problems. Time away from work to recuperate may result in loss of income or leave entitlements at a time of increased expenses. Social interaction with family and friends may become limited due to incapacitation.

You wonder whether you should seek compensation but have no idea how to claim or what resources may be available. Then there is the worry about how people like your employer may react if the injury is work-related. You wonder how a claim might affect your future employment prospects or even health fund.

Our experienced solicitor can negotiate through the claim pathways to have your case appropriately represented with comprehensive knowledge of personal injury compensation law. It is necessary to consider the immediate impact of the injury you have sustained and look at any potential long-range effects.

If the injury is severe, your ability to travel may be affected, along with the need for assistance with the activities of daily living. You may also have to employ an occupational therapist to make any necessary changes to your home, like wheelchair access and handrails in bathrooms.
