Frequently Asked Questions
A slip and fall claim is a type of public liability claim where you seek compensation after being injured due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property. This could include shopping centres, restaurants, workplaces, or public spaces such as footpaths.
In Victoria, strict time limits apply. Generally, you must start your claim within three years of the date of injury. In some cases, extensions may be available. If you’re unsure, please contact us for more advice.
Compensation may cover medical treatment, rehabilitation, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs. The exact amount depends on your injuries and how they affect your life.
Reporting the incident as soon as possible helps protect your rights and creates a record of what happened. This is particularly important if your injury occurred in a shopping centre, workplace or on a public footpath managed by a council.
You may still be entitled to compensation even if you were partly responsible. In this case, your compensation might be reduced to reflect your level of responsibility.
Many claims can be resolved through negotiation with insurers. However, if an insurer disputes your claim, our lawyers can represent you in court to fight for a fair outcome.
At Littles Lawyers, we operate on a No Win, No Fee basis. This means you won’t pay legal fees unless your claim is successful. All costs are explained clearly before you proceed.
