Supermarket Accident Lawyers Queensland

Whether you’ve been injured in a supermarket accident as a result of slippery floors, spilled food or a nasty trip hazard, experiencing a public injury is always a traumatic and often painful time. Supermarkets have a duty of care to their customers to clean up hazards before accidents occur, and if a supermarket breaches this duty of care, the person injured may be entitled to compensation.

LHD’s supermarket accident lawyers QLD are claims experts, and can help you navigate the process and receive the maximum amount of supermarket accident compensation you may be entitled to as a result of your suffering.

If you’re making a supermarket injury claim, it’s always best to first seek professional legal advice to help you. The public injury team at LHD Lawyers will be able to guide you and help you to understand your rights. We’ll be able to assess your situation (either in-office or over the phone), and can let you know whether your claim is likely to succeed.

For your claim to be successful, you’ll need to:

• Be able to show that the severity of your injury is above a certain threshold dictated by the legal system. This can be through photographic evidence, medical reports and records or witness accounts.
• Lodge a claim for compensation that details how exactly the supermarket breached its duty of care to you as a customer and how this resulted in your injury.

The amount of compensation you can receive for your supermarket accident claims QLD can vary depending on how severe your injuries are, what the circumstances were and how long the claim takes to process. Speaking with an experienced supermarket accident lawyer will give you an accurate gauge of the compensation you may receive for your supermarket accident claim.

You must notify the Supermarket at fault, of your slip, trip and fall claim by issuing a claim form in accordance with the legislation within nine months of the incident taking place, or within one month of your first meeting with a slip, trip and fall lawyer (whichever occurs first).

However, the most important time limit you must follow is to file proceedings in the court within 3 years of the date of the accident but do so, you may need an order of the court in the event you have not complied with above steps in accordance with the legislation beforehand.
