Traditional sources of data give only partial insight into the nature of legal problems related to injury. These data sources typically say little about personal injury that does not result in hospitalisation or in compensation or claims processes. The present paper uses data from the Legal Australia-Wide (LAW) Survey, a population-level survey, to shed light on four different types of personal injury problems that are likely to be 'justiciable' or have legal aspects problems associated with motor vehicle injury, work-related injury, product injury and injury due to other negligence. - Extract from abstract.
