You've been injured but are now left wondering if your injuries qualify you for accident compensation, well there’s no need to play the guessing game with your injuries when there are clear guidelines that are established by the Government to help those that are injured because of the negligence of someone else.
You can file an injury compensation claim if your injuries were caused as a result of the negligence of another party and you were not at fault. However, it’s not enough to simply believe that your injuries were caused by negligence; you will have to prove that they were a direct result of it.
Examples of injuries that are eligible for compensation include:
Motor vehicle accidents - Accidents take place on the road everyday because of driver recklessness and faulty mechanical parts. After being involved in a traffic motor accident you should contact the police, get witnesses statements if possible, as well as a copy of the accident report. Notify your insurance, the relevant CTP (Green Slip) insurer of the vehicle responsible and of course seek medical care.
Workers compensation - Injuries on the job are handled by the company’s workers compensation program and require that you notify your employer as soon as you are injured (or become aware of it), seek medical attention, and file your claim within the provided time frame.
Slip and falls - These accidents can happen in any number of places including businesses, supermarkets, shopping malls and public parks. If you were injured from a slip or fall then you should first seek medical care, contact and notify the owner of the establishment, and file a claim with their insurance company.
Product defects & liabilities - Faulty and defective products can cause serious injuries and affect people of all ages. Contacting the manufacturer can be difficult if you no longer have the original packaging or did not purchase the product yourself. Working with an accident compensation lawyer may be your best option.
Seek legal counsel
Evaluating the merits of your accident compensation case shouldn’t be done by you alone or by anyone who isn’t educated and experienced in dealing with these particular kinds of cases. Working with a lawyer can provide you with the distinct advantages of having a professional on your side and an upper hand when it comes to getting the compensation you are owed without the hassle.
