Have you had a car crash?
There are several important steps you should take if you have been involved in a car crash and they include the following:
Seek medical attention immediately
even if your injuries at first seem only minor. You could be in shock and the pain and damage might show up later
Obtain the full details of any other vehicles involved in the crash
Inclusing the driver’s car registration number, name, address, insurance company, phone number. Also get details of any witnesses.
Call the police, or tell them later
Don’t wait too long, you have 28 days to report it
Get the advice of a personal injury lawyer
You should get information on your obligations and your rights as soon as possible
Lodge your claim for compensation with the correct insurer
Be aware that you must lodge your claim within six months of the date the car crash occurred.
You could be compensated for:
Pain and Suffering
Depending on your injuries, it’s possible that you may be entitled to a lump sum compensation payment for any pain and suffering your endured as a result of your injuries. If your injuries go beyond a 10 percent whole person impairment threshold, compensation is available. At PK Simpson Sydney, a personal injury lawyer will arrange a report on your behalf from an experienced medical specialist to ascertain your entitlement to pain and suffering compensation, which can be substantial.
Medical Expenses
Once your claim is accepted by the insurer, payments have to be made for all your necessary and reasonable expenses for medical treatment incurred due to your car crash. The insurer also has to reimburse all reasonable travel expenses you had for going to doctor’s appointments or for other treatment. At PK Simpson in Sydney, a lawyer expert in personal injury can make this easy for you by dealing with the request and approval for reimbursement with the insurer.
Loss of Income
You can claim loss of income if your injuries affect your ability to work. PK Simpson’s personal injury team of lawyers in Sydney will gather all evidence needed to prove the extent of your income loss and that such loss occurred due to your car crash. You may also be entitled to claim for any future loss of income if your injuries are major and it can be proven that this will affect your ability to earn income in future years. These can extend up to your retirement age of 67 or beyond, and includes any Superannuation entitlements that would be lost.
Care and Assistance
Provided any assistance that’s needed is directly related to the injuries you sustained in the car crash and that these injuries were not minor, you may be able to claim domestic assistance compensation if you need help to do your daily chores.

compensation and personal injury claims!

Have you slid on something and fallen?
Life can be hazardous and there’s no denying it. People fall over, have car smashes and other mishaps and break limbs, or worse. Most falls are because the person is just clumsy and there are no legal remedies for that. However, there are circumstances where people have falls that are not put down to clumsiness but someone else’s negligence. Most people have heard of someone slipping on a wet supermarket floor where a drink has been spilled or where a lettuce leaf was left on the floor and someone went for a slide and broke a limb, or cut themselves on a broken bottle. In cases where another person or entity is at fault, legal remedies may be available to the person injured so if this is you then don’t delay, call the PK Simpson personal injury team of professional lawyers in Sydney for help today.
Have you tripped and fallen in a public place?
Public and occupiers liability is an area of law that covers a wide range of mishaps that may have occurred due to another person’s fault. Most often the claims made are because of a slip, trip or fall as these can happen anywhere at anytime and this is why this area of law is also referred to as a “slip and fall” claim.
Common cases we deal in are slip and falls at shopping centers, restaurants, pubs, clubs, cafes, on the footpath, in schools and other public buildings and places and private homes or rental properties, as well as accidents on ferries and party boats. We are able to determine if a duty of care existed so it is best to talk to a lawyer who is a personal injury expert at PK Simpson in Sydney. So, if you’ve slid on something, tripped and fallen and injured yourself, the first thing to do is to seek treatment from a doctor or hospital, then call PK Simpson and our personal injury expert lawyers can add up all your health care bills, lost wages, domestic care expenses, and an amount for pain and suffering and help you with a claim for compensation. You really have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Has something gone wrong medically?
If a health care provider causes a person to be injured while in their care, a claim can possibly be made. Health care mishaps can cause a huge amount of injury, pain and stress, and the laws governing medical treatment are now more complicated with the evolution of medical technology and science. If you have been injured through a healthcare mishap, you will need the professionalism, understand and expertise of the expert personal injury lawyers at PK Simpson in Sydney to help you get the recompense you’re entitled to by law.
The failure of a health care provider, including a GP, nurse, psychiatrist, psychologist, personal carer, dentist or specialist, to treat you with reasonable skill and care, is cause for a claim if you have been injured as a result. If you need a lawyer, call PK Simpson without delay.
Proving medical negligence
If you believe you have a claim for a health care mistake or mishap, you must prove:
- That the treatments you received showed a less than reasonable level of care, skill and expertise
- That you suffered some injury or damage
- That the lack of reasonable care taken was the cause of your injury or damage
If you think you can prove the above, then the next step is to contact a lawyer. You will need experienced personal injury lawyers who are expert in health care mishaps to start the legal proceedings against your provider. After the incident has occurred, there are strict time limits for claiming compensation, so contact PK Simpson in Sydney today to get the lawyers to begin your claim.
