Frequently Asked Questions
Straightforward answers to common questions about claiming compensation in South Australia.
A valid claim generally requires proving that someone owed you a duty of care, they breached that duty, and you suffered an injury or financial loss as a result. The easiest way to find out is to use our 30-minute free consultation.
It means that if we take on your case and we are unsuccessful in getting you compensation, you will not have to pay our professional legal fees. There may be some external disbursements (like medical report fees), which we will discuss with you upfront.
Generally, you have three years from the date of the injury to lodge a personal injury claim in South Australia. However, there are exceptions (such as for minors), and it’s always best to seek legal advice as soon as possible while evidence is fresh.
The vast majority of personal injury claims are settled out of court through negotiation or mediation. We aim to settle your claim as efficiently as possible without the stress of a trial, but we are fully prepared to litigate if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
Depending on your case, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses (past and future), loss of income, pain and suffering, and care or assistance you require due to your injury.

While we are out in public spaces that are privately owned an accident could happen to any one of us. Spaces open to the public that are privately owned include residential and rental properties, shopping centres, schools, gyms, stadium and private schools. Owners and occupiers such as landlords and shopkeepers usually maintain adequate insurance in the case of accidental injury on their premises. But just because you are injured, you aren’t automatically entitled to compensation. You need to establish that the duty of care was breached in some way. This may be by showing proper systems of cleaning weren’t adhered to or known defects addressed in a timely fashion.

In South Australia the laws relating to motor vehicle injuries changed significantly. Statute now dictates the types of loss claimable when injured by a motor vehicle and also the levels of cover. The law in this area is technical and some assistance can go a long way.
If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist or pedestrian, then we will advise you on your rights to seek compensation.
Negligence is accidental damage and injury. Sometimes there’s more to it than that. The law also permits us to seek compensation for intentional harm. While is not as common as accidental, it often results in serious injury.
