Overview

Slip and Falls and Trip and Falls

Brydens Lawyers have prosecuted thousands of claims on behalf of injured persons for compensation arising from slip and fall or trip and fall accidents. 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.

Engaging a lawyer who specialises in slip and fall accidents is one of the best ways to ensure that you can claim compensation that you may be entitled to. Most businesses are insured by a public liability insurer, which protects them from compensation or personal injury claims. This is one of the reasons why engaging a personal injury lawyer is highly recommended when making any slip and fall claim.

What You Need To Know

Are You Eligible to Make A Slip and Fall Claim?

Any person who has suffered an injury as a result of a slip and fall claim or trip and fall accident, is entitled to seek advice in connection with any compensation claim that may be available to them, as against the party responsible for their accident.


Why Are Brydens Lawyers The Right Slip and Fall Claims Representation For You?

Brydens Lawyers has prosecuted thousands of public liability claims on behalf of persons who have sustained injury as a result of a slip and fall or trip and fall accident. These injuries have been determined by the courts to be the fault of the owner or occupier of the premises where the accident occurred. Such cases include a 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 has also successfully prosecuted a claim for injuries sustained as a result of a trip on a raised tile which had been laid incorrectly.


What Fall Injury Claim Costs Are You Entitled To?

At the successful completion of a public liability claim brought under the provisions of the Civil Liability Act 2002 (NSW), an injured person is able to recover damages for:

  • non-economic loss or damages for pain and suffering;

  • past and future medical expenses (if applicable); 

  • past and future economic loss or wage loss (if applicable);  

  • loss of superannuation benefits commensurate with past economic loss and future economic loss (if applicable);  

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

  • home and/or motor vehicle modifications necessitated by the injuries;  

  • an allowance for legal costs.


When Should You Consult A Slip and Fall Lawyer About Making A Claim?

Consulting an expert personal injury lawyer, such as those at Brydens Lawyers, should be done as soon as is practical following the accident. Once engaged, Brydens Lawyers will immediately begin collecting all relevant evidentiary material in relation to the claim. This will include:

  • Witness statements

  • Photographs

  • An expert report (if required)

  • Searches undertaken to confirm the identity of the owner/occupier of the premises

Joanna C, a client of our Common Law division

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.
