Types of Claims our Sunshine Coast Lawyers Can Help You With
WORK ACCIDENTS
Work accidents refer to injuries that occur as a result of performing job-related tasks or whilst travelling to or from work. Employers typically have workers’ compensation insurance to cover medical expenses and lost wages for injured employees. However, you may also be able to bring a claim to compensate you for your injuries, treatment needs and future loss of income and superannuation.
CAR ACCIDENTS
Car accidents involve collisions between vehicles or between a vehicle and a pedestrian or cyclist. If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident as a driver or passenger, as a cyclist, a motorcyclist or even as a pedestrian, you may be able to claim compensation for your injuries (and the impact those injuries have had upon you) from the insurer for that vehicle.
MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS
Motorcycle accidents involve an accident between a motorcycle and another vehicle. These accidents can often result in serious injuries such as fractures, brain injuries and amputations. Compensation for your injuries is sought from the insurer for the driver who was at fault for the accident.
PEDESTRIAN OR CYCLIST ACCIDENTS
These accidents occur when pedestrians or cyclists are struck by vehicles. They often happen in car parks, on pedestrian crossings, or on the road. Injuries can be severe due to the vulnerability of pedestrians and cyclists compared to motor vehicles. Victims may pursue compensation through the at-fault driver’s insurance.
PUBLIC PLACE OR PRIVATE PROPERTY ACCIDENTS
Accidents that occur on boats, in public places (like parks and shopping centres) or on private property (such as homes or businesses) fall into this category. These can include slips, trips, or falls, and may result from hazards like wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poorly maintained areas. Claims for compensation are pursued against the insurer for the property owner or vessel.
TOTAL AND PERMANENT DISABILITY SUPERANNUATION CLAIMS
These claims are made when an individual becomes totally and permanently disabled, meaning they are unable to work in any occupation for which they are suited by education, training, or experience. Your superannuation often has automatic insurance coverage for such disabilities which can assist you financially if you are unable to work due to injury or illness.
