Accidents in public
Accidents causing injuries on the property of a business, third party or council property are covered by insurers. Quite often these claims involve slip and fall type injuries so are referred to as 'slip and fall claims'. The party who ultimately bears the responsibility in these situations is the entity which occupies the property, almost always a company.
The most common place for these accidents to occur are supermarkets (Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, IGA, BigW, Target, Kmart, David Jones, Myers) and shopping centers (Westfields Shopping Centers, Eastgardens, suburban shopping malls) as well as hardware stores like Bunnings. Injuries sustained on rental properties are also common. Claims against the council usually occur near council work sites or at public amenities or structures maintained by the council.
Most slip and fall claims are against the big supermarket chains. Thousands of people attend these sites daily so accidents are bound to happen as continuous foot traffic, spillage and various maintenance work goes on simultaneously. Employees of these companies are also injured resulting in workers compensation claims.
Our legal team works closely with medical providers to support your claim for compensation.
