Shopping Centre Injury Compensation Claims
Sydney, NSW
If you’re shopping in a supermarket or anywhere else in Sydney, you have a right to safety. Few things would ruin your day more than turning into another aisle in a shopping centre and slipping on an oily or wet floor, falling onto a broken bottle, or sliding on a piece of fruit.
These are just a few examples of public accidents common in Sydney and other places in Australia, that have resulted in people suffering a serious injury that needed surgery or hospitalisation. Such accidents have resulted in supermarket injury compensation claims.

Compensation For
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.

- Fractures and dislocations
- Skull fracture
- Traumatic brain injury, brain bleed
- Internal bleeding
- Back or neck injury
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, (PTSD) shock, depression, anxiety
- Torn, damaged ligament sprain
- Hand and foot injury
