Your Queensland employer has a legal duty to provide a safe and healthy workplace. But every year, people are harmed in work-related slip and fall accidents. If this is your circumstance, you will make a workers’ compensation claim. You could also receive a lump-sum payout for a severe injury that prevents you from working again. Our skilled solicitors will help you understand your eligibility for free.
Stores, supermarkets, and shopping malls are responsible for keeping their customers safe. You could be eligible for compensation if they fail their duty of care and you get hurt.
It is reasonable to expect to shop in a safe environment when visiting your local stores. Therefore, you might have a public liability claim if the store doesn’t take reasonable care to keep you safe and you get injured.
Supermarket slip and fall accidents often occur due to poor housekeeping. Inside a large grocery store, there are substantial opportunities for something to go wrong if the staff are not responsive to their cleaning duties. Slippery surfaces can happen when items fall off shelves; products get spilled, liquids leak, and fruit and vegetables are squashed on the floor. The longer it takes to remove these hazards, the greater the potential for harm. Generally, the business owner must ensure your safety in these situations.
Perhaps because staff failed to clear up a spill or alert customers to a slip hazard, you may slip, fall, and suffer an injury. This hazard frequently occurs in supermarkets and shopping malls where a spilled liquid or a freshly washed floor has inadequate signage.
Poorly placed or curled doormats, packages blocking doorways, unexpected steps, and products on the floor can all create tripping hazards and injuries.
Because the store or shopping centre neglected to properly maintain its escalators, lifts, stairs, and rails, you were hurt. For example, at shopping centres, escalators may suddenly stop working, causing people to fall; these are frequent causes of harm.
Your child was hurt because the store didn’t take sufficient precautions to create a kid-safe environment, for instance, insecure shelves or unfastened child seats on trolleys, which could harm a youngster.
Local councils oversee maintenance to keep public areas and properties safe for use. Essentially, they are responsible for keeping people safe when on council property. Sadly, they may occasionally neglect their duties and harm someone. So, you could be entitled to compensation if you were hurt on a council-owned property or in a public area. Council insurance claims include mishaps, slips, and falls on shared pathways, council-owned parking areas, and open spaces like playgrounds and parks.
You expect your loved ones to be safe when using a public park or playground. This is not always true. Common accidents that can happen at public parks include:
You could make a Public Liability compensation claim if you slipped, fell, and were injured in a store, on council property, or any other public place.

If a council footpath was not adequately maintained, such as if there were significant cracks or the concrete had gaps or was uneven, and you tripped over it and hurt yourself, you may be able to file a compensation claim.
Local councils maintain public areas, including parks, playgrounds, and athletic fields. Local governments are responsible for ensuring that public spaces are frequently maintained and secure to keep people safe while they are there. But on occasion, they might be negligent in their duties. If this happens and you get hurt in a public place, you might receive injury compensation.
Accidents like slips and falls often occur in supermarkets and stores where staff may be too busy to maintain safe premises, such as Coles and Woolworths. Similar concerns can arise in shopping centres like Westfield.
Local councils typically maintain bike paths as well. They are responsible for keeping the track clear and ensuring that any identified dangers receive a reasonable response. You could be entitled to sue the council for negligence if they neglected to patch a reported pothole and you fell and hurt yourself while out riding, walking, or jogging. Essentially, they breached their obligation to maintain the bike path in a safe condition.
Queensland CTP compensation should cover you if your bike accident happened on a public road and involved a motor vehicle.
