Assessments of damages in personal injury claims and the apportionment of damages in property damage/economic loss claims in Australia are governed by different state legalisation and regimes. Each regime has unique characteristics that are important in the context of driving claim strategies.

To help demystify many of the idiosyncrasies of personal injury litigation, W+K has released State of the Nation, a practical guide to personal injury claims in each Australian state.

This guide provides a detailed comparison of key damages and proportionate liability criteria across the country. It also includes summaries of the different procedural rules, limitation periods, assessment of damages and recent cases for personal injury claims in each Australian state.

For more information, contact one of our general liability partners listed at the end of the report.
