How Do I Seek Compensation For An Injury at School Or A Rental Property?
If you or a loved one has sustained injuries at school or while visiting a rental property, they may be suffering broken bones, joint injuries, cuts, bruises, or other injuries. Injuries and illnesses can be caused by unsafe equipment or flooring, trip hazards, exposure to hazardous materials, or simply through insufficient supervision at school.
These injuries can lead to costly medical expenses, time off work or school, and a temporary or even permanent reduction to your or your child’s quality of life. Lawyers that sue schools and rental property operators will start by assessing your case and determining the best course of action.
What Compensation Am I Entitled To?

To make a claim for compensation, it is recommended that you seek the assistance of a lawyer who specialises in public liability claims. We have a team of dedicated lawyers that sue schools and rental property owners who specialise in seeking accountability for educators and operators who fail to mitigate risks for students and families. They can guide you through the legal and claims process and help you understand your legal rights and options.
You’ve probably seen a lot of lawyers use the term ‘No Win, No Fee’. Long story short: you only pay us when you achieve a successful outcome. So if you don’t get paid, we don’t get paid.
Let’s break it down.
- We start by reviewing your claim in detail and give you a clear assessment of your prospects for success. We’re experts in compensation law, so we can give you an accurate assessment of your claim.
- Once we’ve established that you should pursue your claim, you can tell us if you want us to proceed as your legal representatives. To formally appoint us as your legal representative, you will enter into a ‘Conditional Costs Agreement’ with us. This is a legal contract that sets out the likely costs of running your claim based on our fees, as well as the rights and responsibilities of you as the client and us as your legal representatives.
- We’ll explain it clearly and thoroughly, with as little legal speak as possible – we promise you’ll understand it completely.
- Importantly, this agreement will set out the ‘No Win, No Fee’ arrangement in black and white. This specifies that you will not pay us anything if your claim is not successful. Our ‘No Win, No Fee’ agreement also covers you for disbursements, or outlays. These are expenses that we may need to pay to progress your claim, including medical reports, expert witness fees and barristers’ fees.
- In certain circumstances, you may be required to pay the other party’s legal costs if you are unsuccessful.
- Remember, your success rests on you providing us with an honest, comprehensive account of all matters relevant to your claim.
