Personal Injury Law
What is Personal Injury Law?
If a person suffers a physical or mental injury as the result of the negligence of another person or organisation, they may be entitled to claim compensation through a personal injury claim.
Personal injuries can arise in a number of situations including in the workforce and motor vehicle accidents.
In general, claims for damages arising out of an injury must be commenced within a three-year period. While personal injury claims are not always simple, majority of claims do settle without the need to commence formal litigation.
If you have suffered an injury at the fault of another, contact Munro Legal to discuss your options.
Historical Institutional Abuse
The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse produced a number of findings and recommendations related to experiences of people affected by child sex abuse in an institutional context. Part of these reforms allowed for survivors of child sexual abuse to make a claim regardless of how long ago the abuse occurred.
Victims can make a claim through the National Redress Scheme or through common law.
At Munro Legal, we assist clients in bringing a complaint against an institution so that they can achieve justice and find closure. We understand that that this period can be difficult, and we aim to be compassionate and support our clients through these difficult times. We work with a number of clients who have experienced both physical, emotional and sexual abuse as children in institutions throughout Queensland, New South Wales and other States in Australia. We appreciate that many of our clients struggle with authorities and the judicial system, accordingly, our aim is to finalise any compensation claims outside of court with a therapeutic approach.
We take a “No win, no fee” approach. This means, you will not be liable to pay for the work we do until we reach a settlement.
Motor Vehicle Accident
If you have suffered damage or injury as a result of a motor vehicle accident that was the fault of the other driver, you may be entitled to compensation through Queensland’s compulsory third party insurance scheme. There are some instances where you may also be entitled to compensation if you were partially responsible for the crash.
Being involved in a motor vehicle accident can be a challenging time and it can involve both physical and psychological injuries.
Munro Legal can assist you in running a claim and ensuring that you receive the compensation you deserve. You may be entitled to claim compensation for loss of income, medical and rehabilitation expenses, and common law damages.
It is important to understand the options you have and seek legal advice as soon as possible since time limits apply.
What is Workers Compensation?
If you become injured in the workplace, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation. An application for compensation for a workplace injury can be made through WorkCover or through Common Law.
Many employers deny liability for injuries suffered in the Workplace, especially in instances where the injury is psychological in nature. Therefore, it is important to seek legal advice so that you can understand the options you have. It is best to take action as soon as possible as time limits apply. You may be entitled to make a claim for loss of income, medical and rehabilitation expenses, and common law damages.
