Slip &
Falls

Brydens Lawyers have prosecuted thousands of claims on behalf of injured persons for compensation arising from a slip and fall or trip and fall accident. Such claims include slipping on a spillage within a shopping centre, tripping on uneven pavers in a common area, slipping on oil which has leaked from a motor car within a car park or tripping on a pipe left protruding from the ground on an industrial worksite.

ARE YOU ELIGIBLE
TO MAKE A CLAIM?

Any person who has been assaulted is entitled to make a claim as against the assailant. It does not matter who the assailant is. It may be a family member, a neighbour or a stranger.

Any person who has committed an assault upon another can be held liable under the common law for damages commensurate with the injuries which have been sustained.

WHY ARE BRYDENS LAWYERS THE RIGHT REPRESENTATION FOR YOU?

Brydens Lawyers has prosecuted thousands of claims on behalf of persons who have been injured as a result of a slip and fall or trip and fall that was held by the courts to be the fault of the owner or occupier of the premises where the accident occurred. Such cases include an elderly person slipping on a spillage within a supermarket that should have been detected and cleaned up. Claims also include compensation for injuries sustained as a result of tripping on a raised section of carpet within the common area of a block of units. Brydens Lawyers have also successfully prosecuted a claim for injuries sustained as a result of a trip on a raised tile which had been laid incorrectly.

WHAT ARE YOU
ABLE TO CLAIM?

In New South Wales intentional torts are limited by s3B of the Civil Liability Act 2002 (NSW). Section 3B(1) states that the Act does not apply to an act which is done by a person with the intent to cause injury or death.

Simply put damages are available for;

– non-economic loss or damages the pain and suffering;

– past medical expenses;

– allows for future medical treatment expenses;

– past economic loss or wage loss;

– future economic loss to wage loss or diminution in earning capacity;

– loss of superannuation benefits commensurate with past economic loss and future economic loss;

– value of gratuitous or cost of commercial assistance or care provided for the past and for the future;

– house and/or motor vehicle modifications necessitated by the injuries;

– an allowance for legal costs.

In circumstances where intent to cause injury can be established there may also be an entitlement to Exemplary and Aggravated Damages.

Recently I concluded a very long Common Law case against my employer for a significant injury I received in the workplace. Brydens Lawyers worked tirelessly to get the best possible result. I was kept informed during the process & they ensured that my input was respected every step of the way. It is a long and at times stressful process, however I always felt my legal team had my very best interest in the forefront at all times. I cannot thank them enough.
