What Are Negligence Claims?

The term negligence refers to recklessness and carelessness. Many people get injured due to the negligence of someone else, who often do not take up the responsibility to propery compensate.

Negligence Law And Lawyers Perth

The law of negligence applies to several areas of law. This law states that in certain circumstances, one might owe an obligation to care for another person on the occasion that any injury or harm being caused to that other person was because of negligence. However, it does not mean that you should file a case just because you have been injured because of another person’s action. Only a small number of personal injury claims result in compensation for damages that are approved by the court. Sometimes it is difficult to work out what was responsible for the injury caused or if the person owed the duty of care in the first place. Simply put, negligence refers to the failure to put reasonable care into action when compared to how a reasonable person would have acted under similar circumstances. It might include any wrongful action and inaction; when not doing anything leads to harm.


Negligence law can be broadly categorised into:

  • Professional Negligence
  • Medical Negligence

Professional Negligence includes claims against professional workers; architects, surveyors, solicitors, accountants, bankers, doctors, brokers, auditors, financial advisors and other workers in any professional field. The defendant professional is only responsible for the compensation of the damages when the claims made against them are relevant and it is proven that the defendant is indeed liable. Medical Negligence includes all kinds of claims against medical care providers like doctors, hospitals, nurses and other healthcare providers. This negligence claim would be due to damage or loss suffered by the party because of medical malpractice. Negligence lawyers Perth can provide you with a clear and accurate consultation that may be required on any negligence claim. Furthermore, we can also guide you and consult you with any case that deals with any loss or damage caused by professional or medical negligence.

How do I make a claim? Examples of Negligence

Negligence laws can be complicated as there are strict time limitations when it comes to negligence claims. If you have suffered any kind of injury, a civil claim can be made through the courts for damages. This depends on the limit of the legal action you can take to get your compensation. This is why you should carefully consider if it is worth making a negligence claim or not, as these litigations and the process of negotiation and settlement can not only be time-consuming and stressful, but also expensive. They depend on the seriousness of the injuries you suffered, how you got them and the costs of pursuing your claims.
