Even with the best of intentions, accidents happen. You might have been injured at work, or during a motor vehicle crash. You could even have been injured as a victim of crime.
In many cases, these accidents can leave you unable to work, facing steep medical bills and losing the ability to enjoy many of the day-to-day activities people take for granted.
It can be difficult for people to know how to proceed when injured, however, and they run the risk of not claiming compensation, or accepting an unreasonably small offer that doesn’t meet their needs. They can also underestimate the impact an injury can have on their long-term health and employment or delay too long, and lose their rights to a claim.
Injuries sustained in many types of accidents can be compensable, and if you find yourself in this position, discussing your situation with a lawyer is vital to ensure you do not lose your right to access a fair amount of compensation.
Inevitably, there is a limited window of time for you to make a claim for compensation, so it is best to seek advice without delay.
Havilah Legal’s team of experts in personal injury law can help you negotiate the complex process of putting in a claim and notifying the people involved. This can include contacting your employer if you have been hurt at work, or notifying the Insurance Commission of Western Australia with the details of a motor vehicle crash.
At Havilah Legal, professional legal costs relating to personal injuries claims are not payable until the conclusion of the claim. However, we will ask you to pay for some things as your case progresses, such as accident investigation reports – but we are clear and upfront about any expenses.
In most cases, if your claim succeeds, the settlement package you will receive as compensation will include a contribution towards the overall legal costs you have incurred.
If you do find yourself injured and unsure of whether you should pursue a claim, make an appointment to speak to our Legal Information Desk lawyer. For an initial 20-minute consultation free of charge, he can assess your situation and provide straightforward and practical advice on the options available to you and how best to proceed.
