Enduring an injury of any kind can be a daunting and overwhelming experience, sometimes even limiting you from being able to go about your day-to-day. An injury can have not only physical repercussions but emotional, psychological, social and financial.
As some individuals may not know, in instances where injuries are caused due to another person's negligence, you can claim against the incident for any losses sustained. One of the main questions surrounding personal injury claims is "do I need a lawyer for my personal injury claim?".
More often than not, the answer is yes.
Due to the complex nature of personal injury claims, the expertise of an experienced lawyer ensures you get the care and attention you need, while we handle the legalities, taking the guesswork out of the process.

Personal injury claims you can claim for
Personal injury claims vary in nature, however here are the most common:
Worker's compensation
This form of compensation relates to those individuals who have been physically or psychologically injured as a result of the nature of their work. The compensation can also be claimed for those with pre-existing conditions or injuries that may have become worse or more significant over time due to the working environment, conditions or activities.
Public liability claims
These types of claims cover the losses sustained from injuries in any public area and building such as rental properties and business premises. It is important to note that all public areas are required to have public liability insurance in case an individual sustains any injuries in the presence of their premises.
Motor vehicle accident claims
Motor vehicle accidents can lead to a ranging severity of both physical and psychological injury. Suppose you're a person involved in an accident (whether you're a driver, cyclist or pedestrian). In that case, you could be eligible for compensation regardless of how minor the accident may appear to be.
Medical negligence claims
These types of claims can be made against any medical practitioner, hospital or healthcare professional of which you have experienced negligent medical treatment or if you've received any injury while in their care.
Obtaining a personal injury claim requires some evidence and paperwork. Therefore, contacting legal experts is your best option. Selecting a qualified and experienced lawyer is crucial in ensuring you receive substantial representation and an overall deserving outcome. Some things to look for when choosing a personal injury lawyer include:
- A lawyer that specialises in the area of your case - the more knowledge the better the outcome
