Types of Personal Injury Gold Coast Locals May Be Eligible For Compensation For
In the event of an accident that results in injury, you may be eligible for compensation to cover cost of treatment, lost wages from being unable to work, emotional trauma and more. If you’re not sure if you have a claim as a result of an accident injury, we offer free consultations to help give you clarity. These are some of the common types of personal injuries our Gold Coast lawyers can help you with:
WorkCover Injuries
If you’re injured in the workplace or become sick as a result of your work, you may be entitled to make a Workers’ Compensation claim through WorkCover. Our workplace injury lawyers on the Gold Coast can help determine if you’re a candidate, as well as help you navigate the process so you know what you’re rightfully entitled to.
Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries
Even minor injuries following a car, motorbike, hit and run, pedestrian or other motor vehicle accident may make you eligible to receive compensation if you’re not at fault. We can assess your case, providing guidance to help you make an informed decision, helping you claim compensation if you decide to move ahead.
Public Liability Injuries
When you’re injured in public as a result of negligence, you may be eligible for compensation to cover medical expenses, mental distress, lost wages and more. As public liability compensation lawyers, we can help you with the often confusing process of making a claim, giving you the information needed to help you make informed choices.
Medical Negligence
Medical professionals have a duty of care. When they fail to provide you with adequate treatment that results in injury, suffering or loss, you may be eligible to lodge a medical negligence compensation claim to help recoup losses and your future needs, depending on your case.
How Our Gold Coast Personal Injury Lawyers Can Help You
