Common public liability claims include:

1. Slip and fall accidents

1. Medical and rehabilitation expenses
2. Loss of income and future earning capacity
3. Pain and suffering
4. Costs of care and assistance
5. Out-of-pocket expenses related to the injury

1. Assess the strength of your claim
2. Gather and preserve crucial evidence
3. Navigate complex legal procedures
4. Negotiate with insurance companies

Yes, you can claim compensation if a pre-existing condition was worsened due to the incident. Here’s what you need to know:

1. You can claim for the additional impact caused by the aggravation, not the pre-existing condition itself.
2. Strong medical evidence is crucial to demonstrate how the incident worsened your condition.
3. Your lawyer must prove the negligent act directly caused the aggravation.
4. Be upfront about your pre-existing condition with your lawyer to build the strongest case.
5. Compensation is based on the difference between your condition before and after the incident.

Having a pre-existing condition doesn’t disqualify you from seeking compensation. Our Perth Public Liability Lawyers at Gajic Lawyers will help demonstrate the additional impact and fight for fair compensation for the aggravation you’ve experienced.
