What Is Considered To Be A Personal Injury?
In terms of making a claim, a personal injury can be defined as an injury to an individual that has been caused as a consequence of the negligence of another person or organisation.
This could include injuries from a road accident (car, motorbike, bicycle, truck or pedestrian), workplace injury or accident, including silicosis claims or public place injuries such as those experienced at a shopping centre. Injuries caused by medical malpractice whether from misdiagnosis, dental negligence, vaccines or similar also fall into this category.
Psychological injuries, if they have been caused or worsened due to the negligence of another, may also be classed as a personal injury.
No matter your circumstances, our Sunshine Coast personal injury compensation lawyers provide an extensive selection of legal services tailored to support and reassure you.
The Personal Injury Proceedings Act
Legislation for the regulation of personal injury claims in Queensland is found in the Personal Injury Proceedings Act (PIPA). Introduced as a means for streamlining the claims process and avoiding costly, time-consuming litigation, it also ensures claimants are able to secure fair compensation.
By reducing the costs associated and facilitating a faster and more reliable claims process, it allows those affected by personal injury access to the vital legal support and compensation they are entitled to.
