If you have been injured at work, on public or private property, on the road or elsewhere, and you believe it is not your fault, act quickly to lodge a claim for compensation.

Our compensation lawyers are experienced in acting for both sides in personal injury claims. While we have experience acting for insurance companies, our firm also has a dedicated claimant’s practice. You can trust our experience upholding the rights of individuals seeking compensation.

The first step is to understand your rights. Speak with us to find out what your entitlements are and we can help you understand what avenues might be available to you. We will confidentially consider your enquiry at no cost and contact you in reply to discuss your options.

Injured at work

Everyone has the right to a safe workplace. We know that sometimes unsafe workplace conditions can result in injury. It is your employer’s responsibility to provide a safe workplace. If you have been injured at work, or if your mental health has been affected by your work, you may be entitled to compensation and other benefits.

Making a claim can be a complicated and overwhelming process at a time when you are already dealing with an injury or illness. We will provide clarity and understanding to assist you in understanding your rights and maximising the compensation you can recover.

Injured on the road

If you have been injured on the road in an accident involving a car, bus, truck, train, tram, motorcycle, scooter or bicycle, and you believe it is not your fault, then you will need to act quickly to make a claim.

We assist injured persons in road and transport accidents with a focus on ensuring the maximum benefit is received. Strict time limits apply to claims so seeking legal advice early will help ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

Injured as a result of medical or dental negligence

If you have suffered an unexpected outcome during a medical or dental procedure, there may be grounds for compensation. If you believe that your doctor or dentist has acted negligently and outside their duty of care to you as a patient, then you may be able to make a compensation claim.

Proving that your doctor or dentist has breached their duty of care can be difficult. Professional negligence claims require expert and specialist advice. We can help simplify the process in determining whether there are grounds for a compensation claim.

Slips and falls

If you have slipped or tripped and injured yourself in a public or private place, you may be entitled to compensation.

Public liability covers a wide range of situations such as injuries caused by animals or in the case of a physical and sexual assault where an owner or occupant has breached their duty of care. Contact us and we can guide you through the public liability claim process.
