Personal injury compensation due to negligence

If you suffered an injury on the road or at work, you might be entitled to personal injury compensation. Negligence can be a complex topic and negligence itself can only be determined by a lawyer. Even if you think no one was too blame or perhaps even blame yourself it is recommended that you stop and get the right advice by contacting the Australian injury helpline to discuss car accident compensation, work accident compensation, public liability compensation or product liability compensation.

Under common law compensation claims for negligence may include cases such as:

Work accident compensation

As well as statutory benefits an individual may also be entitled to non-statutory benefits in cases of negligence. The amount of work injury compensation you may receive under common law will depend on where your injury happened, who was to blame and how serious your injury is.

Road accident compensation

Road accident compensation for injuries will vary between States. Some States or Territories have a 'fault-based scheme' while others have a 'non fault based scheme. Again it will very much depend on where, why and how serious an injury is.

Medical Malpractice

Doctors do not always get it right do they? Sometimes they may fail to diagnosis a patient properly or correctly, or fail to treat them appropriately. Other cases may include improper anesthesia, delivery mistakes causing birth defects or unnecessary surgeries or even unnecessary amputation. Check out for medical negligence compensation.

Defective Products

Sometimes things are made with faults that lead to injuries. Cases like this include recalled items, damaged and dangerous parts in products and flammable materials.
Public Liability claims

A slip, trip or fall in business premises or a public place may occur for many reasons. These reasons may include; poor construction, failing to communicate and so forth.
