For Other Negligence-Related Accident Injury Claims
When injuries are caused by accidents, there is an element of negligence involved. This may be at a private property or a public place and wherever the accident may have happened, if there is negligence that can be proved, you stand a good chance at claiming damages.
However, the process is not that easy. The party responsible will put up a fight to prove that there was no negligence or worse, that the claimant was negligent. In such cases, you will need all the support you can for a thorough spadework. Our lawyers can help you build a strong case to prove the negligence and get you your rightful share.

Compensation Claim Process
As already established, the claims process is not simple and certainly not something a common man can understand. However, the one unambiguous factor is the timeliness of each step of the process which can never go amiss. Let’s take a step-by-step look at the compensation claims process.
- Informing The Parties
The concerned parties need to be informed of the injuries sustained by you in the accident. This has to be done in time and any delay would become the basis for the other party to argue that the injuries were caused by some other accident and shake off any liability. The concerned parties include the ICWA for a vehicle accident claim, the negligent party in case of a negligence claim and your employer along with Work Cover WA for a worker’s compensation claim – these are the other parties who need to be informed.
- Collecting The Evidence
The second step in the process is to gather all possible evidence that would confirm your case. This includes all medical evidence that can affirm that the injuries sustained by you were caused due to the said accident. Photographic and videographic evidence from the scene of the accident furthers your case.
While it is important to collect the evidence and medical reports right from the beginning, most accident victims are unable to do so as they are fazed by the post-accident chaos and are absolutely unaware of the legal requirements that could strengthen their case. A legal expert can help collect all evidence and guide you accordingly.
- A Settlement Conference
The third and potentially final stage is where you head to a settlement conference. Most compensation claims cases are settled in such conferences if both parties are satisfied with the offer made. Such conferences are also mutually beneficial for both parties since they lead to quicker resolutions.
A written offer, a pre-trial conference or an arbitration are all various ways of settling such compensation claims in Tuart Hill. If you feel the claim amount is not fair or if the other party refuses to make an offer, you may begin legal proceedings which lead to a trial.
- Proceeding To Trial
Essentially, the final step in this process is proceeding to trial where all the evidence is presented. The evidence would include details about how the accident happened, what injuries you sustained because of it, your medical expenses in treating the injuries, your absence from work because of the injuries and the loss in income incurred as a result. Witnesses may be called to testify in support of your case and the evidence presented. A competent lawyer who specialises in compensation trials in Tuart Hill is what you need to defend your case in such situations.
