REDCLIFFE, Australia - AussieJournal -- Where an injured person suffers a psychological injury as a result of being assaulted by a person or in the circumstances of the injury occurring in a public space and not in a workplace environment or motor vehicle accident, the injured person may have rights to pursue a claim under the provisions of the Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 (Qld), the public liability system in Queensland.

Strict time limits apply to the making of such claims and early advice should be sought. An example of circumstances where such injuries occur are assaults, medical negligence matters, crowd control/security matters, boating accidents, E-scooter accidents, falls in public areas etc.

Claims being made under the Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 (Qld) are different to those under the WorkCover and motor vehicle legislation in that there is no entitlement to early payment of rehabilitation treatment expenses but rather the claims are for lump sum damages payable at the conclusion of the matter where liability can be established. These claims can be complicated and early advice from a suitably qualified Lawyer is important. Strict time limits do apply.
