“An injury not to property, but to the body, mind or emotions” Cornell Law School
If you have suffered a physical or psychological illness or injury as a result of an accident or negligence, you may be entitled to make a Personal Injury Claim. Illnesses and Injuries can range from a mild injury to a long-term disability. Personal Injury can cause long-term pain, debilitation, and inconvenience.
Personal Injury does not discriminate. Your injuries may stop you from working, impacting your ability to earn an income. Whether you have to take a relatively small amount of time off work (if employed) or lose work/customers (if self-employed), this can affect your income. Unfortunately, bills, mortgage and rent still need to be paid, and food bought. These living expenses still remain the same, even if there is a decrease in your income due to your Personal Injury.
There is also the additional worry of extra medical costs caused by your injury. Your injury may have left you with a disability that requires 24-hour specialist care, which is expensive and psychologically distressing.
The effect of a Personal Injury can never be underestimated.
A few examples of a Personal Injury claim are as follows:
Legal Funding Australia can assist Claimants and Law Firms by funding critical medical reports, expert reports, Court filing fees, and other legal expenses. These are also known as legal disbursements.
This ensures Claimants are not out of pocket, and Law Firms are not acting as a banker for the client. This allows Practices to continue acting on a ‘no-win-no-fee’ basis.
