Personal Injury Litigation in Queensland: 2025 in Review. From legislative reforms to landmark High Court rulings, 2025 has reshaped the personal injury landscape in Queensland. Highlights (and lowlights) include updated claim procedures; new financial thresholds; a return to first principles in Stewart v Metro North that reframes “reasonableness” in future care claims; and a call for legislative change to redress unfairness in the assessment of vicarious liability involving "relationships akin to employment", arising from the High Court decision in Bird v DP. Dive in to explore how these developments impact access to justice and compensation principles. #PersonalInjury #QueenslandLaww #LegalReforms #AccessToJustice #StewartCase https://lnkd.in/gDnT58FH
