If you’ve been injured due to somebody else’s negligence, you may be entitled to claim compensation.

You have every right to make a compensation claim for personal injury, but your claim must be lodged quickly since there are time limits. The claimant in most personal injury cases in NSW is obliged to prove their injuries were caused by the fault of another person or organisation.

However, there is one exception; and that’s a claim for Workers’ Compensation. Once your PK Simpson lawyer in Sydney has lodged your personal injury claim, the next step is gathering evidence.

    What Injuries Are Claimable?

    A slip trip or fall in a Sydney supermarket that leads to serious injuries can cause a dramatic change in your lifestyle. Due to the pain and suffering, an inability to deal with all the little things that were simple before your supermarket or shopping centre accident can mean life is not so enjoyable. Add the mounting medical bills, a loss of income if you can’t work, and your finances also take a hit.

    Shopping centres and supermarkets are obliged by law to guarantee the safety of their premises. If anyone has a slip, trip, or fall in the premises or their car parks, they may be entitled to supermarket accident claims. These injuries include:

    • If the injuries have left them with a loss of function which causes pain and suffering
    • If they are unable to work
    • If they are unable to care for themselves
    • If they are unable to perform their usual domestic duties
    • If they have incurred expenses for medical treatment

      A: The length of time you have to make your claim depends on the jurisdiction.

      For instance:

      • TPD claims – these may be commenced up to 10 years after you’ve stopped work. TPD claims are very technical and you may have more than one TPD claim.
      • Car accident claims – A personal injury claim form should be filled in and sent to your CTP insurer as early as possible, but must be no later than six months from the date of your accident. HOWEVER, out of time claims may be made. New NSW CTP laws have made it difficult for injured people and many law firms still do not understand how to run new claims under these laws – so call us at PK Simpson Sydney as soon as possible.
      • Workers compensation claims – You should contact a lawyer within six months of the accident. But remember, out of time claims can be handled by PK Simpson Sydney. We can help you get the treatment required to build your claim.
      • Slip ‘n’ fall/occupiers liability claims – Your claim must be lodged usually within three years of the date of your accident.

      Medical Negligence – within three years of the date of when the cause of action was discoverable to our client OR 12 years from the time of the act or omission which caused the injury through negligence.

      A: At PK Simpson in Sydney we act on a no win, no fee basis and an estimate of the costs will be discussed and clearly explained to you during the preliminary stages of your claim. At the end of your claim, we charge only for the work we’ve done, so if your claim is finalised faster than expected, we charge fees only up to that point. Also, we pay for all medical reports upfront.

      Unlike most law firms, we don’t charge a strict percentage which would have you paying a set figure even if the claim settles in two weeks. Costs can be affected by the type of accident, your insurer, liability and other considerations.

      A: If you’ve suffered serious bodily, psychological or reputational injuries it’s crucial that you contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. There are special skills and training and a thorough knowledge of the law required to file a personal injury lawsuit and there are time frames in which you need to lodge your claim. Especially for traffic accidents and medical negligence claims in NSW, you will need an experienced team to handle and build your claim. So the advice is to take action as soon as you are able.

      A: A personal injury lawyer will represent you if you’ve been injured in an incident or accident that was not your fault. Lawyers such as the specialists at PK Simpson Sydney work in personal injury and compensation law, encompassing deliberate acts and negligence, to claim compensation for you. Apart from all the legal work, lawyers also help you to recover faster by making sure you get the treatment and resources needed. PK Simpson pays for all medical reports needed to maximise your claim and get the best evidence.

      A: The legal definition of a personal injury is general physical and/or psychological damage to a person which is the fault of another party. This can be, for instance, the driver of another vehicle, another person, owner of a public area, or an employer. A physical injury usually involves an injury of a psychological nature or it can be one or the other. Specialist doctors are required to identify the nature of injury to round out a personal injury claim.
