What types of personal injury claims do we take on?
The most common types of personal injury claims we deal with on a regular basis include:
Motor Vehicle Accident Claims
An injury resulting from a motor vehicle accident (which includes cars, motorbikes, trucks, and buses) can be life changing. However, there are options for claiming compensation to cover medical costs, loss of income, and other out-of-pocket expenses.
Whether you were the driver, a passenger, a pedestrian, or a cyclist, it’s important to find out what your rights are following an accident. This is regardless of how serious your injury or if you have made a full recovery.
Worker’s Compensation Claims
Worker’s Compensation is designed to help ease employees back into the workplace following an accident. It compensates a person for time off work and covers their medical expenses.
If your employer has been negligent in some way, be that an act or a failure to act which has resulted in your injury, then you may be entitled to damages. This compensates you for pain and suffering, medical costs, loss of income, and other out of pocket expenses.
Every case is different which is why it’s so important to speak to our personal injury lawyers in Cairns.
