Increasingly, violent storms leave many areas of Victoria riddled with fallen or weak trees and branches. Serious injuries could result if a tree or branch were to fall on you.

While public liability claims (slip-and-fall claims) in controlled environments are straightforward, tree-related injuries present unique legal challenges for those seeking compensation.

This blog delves into how courts evaluate compensation claims in these scenarios, where unpredictable forces of nature can add complexity.

If you’re injured on the road in Victoria and it wasn’t your fault, on top of your standard TAC benefits, you may also be eligible to lodge a common law claim.

Your injuries must be permanent and deemed serious, and someone else must have been at fault or caused the accident.

Common law entitlements include compensation payments for pain and suffering and for economic loss.

Claims are not always straightforward, and we’d always recommend having a highly skilled TAC compensation lawyer by your side.
