    Have you had a car crash?

    There are several important steps you should take if you have been involved in a car crash and they include the following:

    Seek medical attention immediately

    even if your injuries at first seem only minor. You could be in shock and the pain and damage might show up later

    Obtain the full details of any other vehicles involved in the crash
    Inclusing the driver’s car registration number, name, address, insurance company, phone number. Also get details of any witnesses.

    Call the police, or tell them later
    Don’t wait too long, you have 28 days to report it

    Get the advice of a personal injury lawyer
    You should get information on your obligations and your rights as soon as possible

    Lodge your claim for compensation with the correct insurer
    Be aware that you must lodge your claim within six months of the date the car crash occurred.

    You could be compensated for:

    Pain and Suffering

    Depending on your injuries, it’s possible that you may be entitled to a lump sum compensation payment for any pain and suffering your endured as a result of your injuries. If your injuries go beyond a 10 percent whole person impairment threshold, compensation is available. At PK Simpson Sydney, a personal injury lawyer will arrange a report on your behalf from an experienced medical specialist to ascertain your entitlement to pain and suffering compensation, which can be substantial.

    Medical Expenses

    Once your claim is accepted by the insurer, payments have to be made for all your necessary and reasonable expenses for medical treatment incurred due to your car crash. The insurer also has to reimburse all reasonable travel expenses you had for going to doctor’s appointments or for other treatment. At PK Simpson in Sydney, a lawyer expert in personal injury can make this easy for you by dealing with the request and approval for reimbursement with the insurer.

    Loss of Income

    You can claim loss of income if your injuries affect your ability to work. PK Simpson’s personal injury team of lawyers in Sydney will gather all evidence needed to prove the extent of your income loss and that such loss occurred due to your car crash. You may also be entitled to claim for any future loss of income if your injuries are major and it can be proven that this will affect your ability to earn income in future years. These can extend up to your retirement age of 67 or beyond, and includes any Superannuation entitlements that would be lost.

    Care and Assistance

    Provided any assistance that’s needed is directly related to the injuries you sustained in the car crash and that these injuries were not minor, you may be able to claim domestic assistance compensation if you need help to do your daily chores.

    No Win, no fee! At PK Simpson we can help you with your

    compensation and personal injury claims!

    Wherever and however your injury occurred, it’s worth talking to our lawyers – You’re in safe

    hands with a PK Simpson personal injury lawyer – Never settle for second best!

    Have you slid on something and fallen?

    Life can be hazardous and there’s no denying it. People fall over, have car smashes and other mishaps and break limbs, or worse. Most falls are because the person is just clumsy and there are no legal remedies for that. However, there are circumstances where people have falls that are not put down to clumsiness but someone else’s negligence. Most people have heard of someone slipping on a wet supermarket floor where a drink has been spilled or where a lettuce leaf was left on the floor and someone went for a slide and broke a limb, or cut themselves on a broken bottle. In cases where another person or entity is at fault, legal remedies may be available to the person injured so if this is you then don’t delay, call the PK Simpson personal injury team of professional lawyers in Sydney for help today.

    Have you tripped and fallen in a public place?

    Public and occupiers liability is an area of law that covers a wide range of mishaps that may have occurred due to another person’s fault. Most often the claims made are because of a slip, trip or fall as these can happen anywhere at anytime and this is why this area of law is also referred to as a “slip and fall” claim.

    Common cases we deal in are slip and falls at shopping centers, restaurants, pubs, clubs, cafes, on the footpath, in schools and other public buildings and places and private homes or rental properties, as well as accidents on ferries and party boats. We are able to determine if a duty of care existed so it is best to talk to a lawyer who is a personal injury expert at PK Simpson in Sydney. So, if you’ve slid on something, tripped and fallen and injured yourself, the first thing to do is to seek treatment from a doctor or hospital, then call PK Simpson and our personal injury expert lawyers can add up all your health care bills, lost wages, domestic care expenses, and an amount for pain and suffering and help you with a claim for compensation. You really have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

    Has something gone wrong medically?

    If a health care provider causes a person to be injured while in their care, a claim can possibly be made. Health care mishaps can cause a huge amount of injury, pain and stress, and the laws governing medical treatment are now more complicated with the evolution of medical technology and science. If you have been injured through a healthcare mishap, you will need the professionalism, understand and expertise of the expert personal injury lawyers at PK Simpson in Sydney to help you get the recompense you’re entitled to by law.

    The failure of a health care provider, including a GP, nurse, psychiatrist, psychologist, personal carer, dentist or specialist, to treat you with reasonable skill and care, is cause for a claim if you have been injured as a result. If you need a lawyer, call PK Simpson without delay.

    Proving medical negligence

    If you believe you have a claim for a health care mistake or mishap, you must prove:

      • That the treatments you received showed a less than reasonable level of care, skill and expertise
      • That you suffered some injury or damage
      • That the lack of reasonable care taken was the cause of your injury or damage

    If you think you can prove the above, then the next step is to contact a lawyer. You will need experienced personal injury lawyers who are expert in health care mishaps to start the legal proceedings against your provider. After the incident has occurred, there are strict time limits for claiming compensation, so contact PK Simpson in Sydney today to get the lawyers to begin your claim.

    Frequently asked questions

    • What’s your area of expertise?
    • What success stories can you share?
    • How often have you gone to trial?
    • What’s your track record?
    • How much will I have to pay in fees?

    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.
