- The injury was caused by the negligence or fault of another party.
- Your injury is serious enough to warrant a claim.
- In most cases, you must lodge a claim within a specific time frame (typically 3 years from the date of the injury).
Our lawyers will assess your case in detail to determine the best course of action and help you gather the evidence needed to strengthen your claim.
