Motor Vehicle Accidents

If you have been injured as a result of a motor vehicle accident you may have a claim for common law damages against the person at fault. There are strict time limits which apply so you need to obtain advice as soon as possible.

A claim may arise if you are a passenger, driver, pedestrian, cyclist or motorcyclist.

We can help you with advice on:

• What to do after you are involved in an accident
• Making a claim and the legal system
• Working with the Insurer for your rehabilitation and return to work
• Your right to damages for general damages (pain and suffering)
• Your right to past and future economic loss
• Your right to past and future medical expenses

Workplace Injuries

If you have been injured at your workplace or during the course of work you may be entitled to:

• Workcover benefits while you are off work to cover some of your wages and your medical expenses and rehabilitation REGARDLESS of who was to blame or if anyone was to blame for the accident
• Common Law damages for pain and suffering, full past and future economic loss and past and future medical expenses if your employer or a fellow employee caused the accident

We can help you with advice on:

• What to do after you are involved in an accident or injured
• Making a claim for benefits and common law claim
• Working with Workcover for your weekly benefits, rehabilitation and medical expenses
• Your right to damages for general damages (pain and suffering)
• Your right to past and future economic loss
• Your right to past and future medical expenses

It is important that you seek legal advice from us early on as Workcover will offer a lump sum payout of the weekly benefit claim, the acceptance of which may preclude you from then bringing a damages claim.

Asbestos Related Claims

If you have been diagnosed with an asbestos related disease including:

• Lung cancer
• Asbestos related lung disease
• Asbestosis
• Mesothelioma

And you may have contracted that asbestos related disease through exposure on a worksite or in a workplace we may be able to assist you with a legal claim. As these types of disease often take many years to develop, your former employer may no longer exist. You may still be entitled to claim.

We can assist you with the legal process and advise you on your prospects of success and assist you to recover damages.
