How do Canberra Compensation Lawyers calculate Compensation?

Compensation is calculated based on various factors, including:

  • Severity and long-term impact of injuries
  • Medical expenses (current and future)
  • Lost income and future earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Need for ongoing care or home modifications

Each case is unique, and calculations can be complex. Our lawyers use their expertise and consult with medical professionals to ensure all aspects are considered.

While it’s possible to make a claim without a lawyer, having legal representation can significantly improve your chances of receiving fair compensation. Lawyers understand the complexities of compensation law and can navigate the legal process on your behalf.

What if I'm partially at fault for the incident leading to my compensation claim?

In Canberra, you may still be eligible for compensation even if you’re partially at fault. This is known as contributory negligence. The amount of compensation may be reduced based on your level of responsibility. Our lawyers can advise you on how this might affect your claim.

Can I claim for a pre-existing condition that was aggravated?

Yes, you may be able to claim compensation if a pre-existing condition was aggravated by a work-related incident or accident. The key is demonstrating that the aggravation was caused by the incident in question. Our lawyers can help gather the necessary medical evidence to support your claim.

Remember, each compensation claim is unique. For personalised advice tailored to your situation, please contact our office to arrange a consultation with one of our expert compensation lawyers.
