Compensation received from public liability claims in Queensland can cover more than just medical costs. Household costs are also put into consideration by courts, as are personal care needs.
While injured parties are recovering, there are many things they'll no longer be able to do, like gardening or driving a car, so these considerations are very important.
So what home care costs can be awarded to you in public liability claims? What follows are examples of each type of care costs but of course, do not fully encapsulate every possible task that can be covered.
Household tasks
Everyday household chores can be covered under public liability claims. Examples in this category vary but can include:
Personal care tasks
In addition to assistance taking care of your home, you can also receive compensation to help you with everyday personal care.
Examples include:
Assistance is also available for vehicle maintenance tasks, such as cleaning or repairs.
Slip and fall incidents happen all the time, whether the injured party fell in a supermarket, public place or private property. When these incidents happen to you or a loved one, you want to make sure that everything you need for a speedy recovery is covered by the compensation you receive. This, of course, includes the home care and personal care tasks that you won't be able to take on while you're getting better.
