We never expect to be in an accident, especially something as simple as a fall in a public place. But as we get older, these types of accidents can become a more common occurrence, so it is important that we know what to do when they happen.
Henry Carus + Associates is Melbourne’s leading personal injury law firm with over 30 years’ experience and it has compiled a free guide to help you maximise your compensation if the worst does happen. The guide covers the six basic steps you should always take if you have a fall or accident.
If you follow these basic steps, you will enhance your opportunity to obtain compensation for any injuries suffered as a result of your fall. Such was the experience of Nina, who had a very serious fall at a medical clinic she was attending to get a hearing test.
On the way back from the toilet, Nina tripped and fell over a rise in the floor and suffered serious injuries to her left side, including her left shoulder and hip. Nina was left with considerable limitations and the need for ongoing medical care and family support.
Nina followed the six basic steps and was able to get an excellent outcome – $135,000 in compensation.
