A woman was shopping on her lunch break in a grocery store when she stepped on a piece of flat cardboard left in one of the aisles. The woman slipped and fell to her knee sustaining injury.
The woman contacted Gerard Malouf and Partners and arranged a face to face conference. One of our accredited personal injury specialists did a house visit for the initial free consultation and provided the woman with advice about her rights and the potential value of her claim.
We briefed a barrister to provide advice in relation to the issue of liability and upon receiving this advice, proceedings were commenced in the District Court against the grocery store.
The woman underwent surgery and once stabilized post-surgery, Gerard Malouf and Partners arranged for the client to be medically assessed by an orthopaedic surgeon and psychiatrist to assess her injuries and need for care and treatment. Once in receipt of this evidence, Gerard Malouf and Partners arranged a settlement conference with the solicitors for the grocery store to discuss the matter.
After extensive negotiations, the matter was resolved for $200,000 which was an excellent result for the client.

Slips, trips and falls that occur in a public place, such as a shopping mall, car park or supermarket, can lead to public claims.
However, you must be able to show that your accident was due to negligence on behalf of the individual or organisation responsible for ensuring your safety in that environment.
In other words, you need to prove that you were owed a duty of care and that this was breached. You must also have suffered damage or an injury as a result of the negligence.
Yes, you usually have to begin making a claim within three years of the date that your slip, trip or fall occurred. The courts may allow some cases to proceed if there are extraordinary circumstances that prevented you from meeting the deadline.
Nevertheless, clients are typically advised to start their claim as soon as possible. One reason for this is that you and any witnesses you rely on may find memories of the event fade over time, creating uncertainty.
Public liability refers to the responsibilities owners or occupants of a public space have to protect anyone who enters. If the owners or occupants fall short of these responsibilities, resulting in an injury, a case for compensation can be made.
Some of the most common incidents covered by public liability law include:
Following an initial meeting, the first task will be to establish the general facts of the case. This will include your medical diagnosis, which will need to be confirmed and documented by a doctor; and proof that the person or company at fault owed you a duty of care, which will need to be demonstrated. Together, this will show that your injury occurred when they breached that duty of care.
From there a further investigation will proceed—contacting and interviewing witnesses, speaking with expert consultants, and more—all in order to bolster the strength of your case even further. Only once this process is complete, and your claim can be demonstrated and proven in full, will the process move on to the next step.
