Common law claims thousands of dollars awarded for personal injury

Negligence occurs when an accident or injury, could have been prevented. There is also contributory negligence. Contributory negligence is when an injured person was partially responsible for the workplace injury.

Worker A was told to cut grass in a field.
The explosion caused extensive injuries to his body including severe burns that would affect his skin for the rest of his life. This type of injury causes a huge amount of pain and suffering. It also gives injured victims a sense of closure and some level of justice. The Australian injury Helpline will arrange professional specialist advice from a lawyer if required.
