FAQs
How long can a slip, trip or fall claim take?
There are a number of factors that can influence how long it will take for your slip and fall lawsuit to reach a settlement. These include:
- Where the accident occurred
- How soon after the accident you contact a lawyer
- How long it takes for the injury to reach a stable condition through treatment

Who pays the slip, trip or fall compensation to me?
This varies depending on where the injury occurred and who was at fault. If you were injured in a commercial location (like a supermarket or shopping mall) then you can sue the business and they will be liable to pay. In a public location, the council or governing body responsible for the area’s upkeep may be held responsible for paying your compensation.
Are there time limits for when I can make a slip, trip or fall claim?
Australia has strict time limits for applying to make personal injury claims that are mandated by Statutory Law. You must notify the party that you consider to be at fault on notice of your claim within nine months of the incident taking place, or within one month of your first meeting with a lawyer (whichever occurs first). If you miss these deadlines, you will have to provide reasons as to why you believe you should still be permitted to submit your claim.
