What kind of damage and loss can I claim for?

• You can claim for more than the costs of your medical treatment. Insofar as possible compensation for injuries sustained in a public place aims to put you in the position you would have been in had the accident not occurred.
• You can claim for:
  • pain and suffering;
  • rehabilitation costs such as physiotherapy;
  • care and assistance costs provided by loved ones or external providers related to your medical or other special needs following your injury;
  • costs of commercial care such as lawn or garden maintenance;
  • medical and other expenses associated with your injuries; and
  • loss of wages or earnings.
