Workers Compensation Claims

Our senior personal injury compensation lawyers have assisted injured workers by helping them claim workers compensation for injuries sustained, regardless of fault, in the course of employment by way of weekly payments, medical expenses and lump sum. Workers compensation is payable regardless whether your injury was in Sydney, Wollongong, Central Cost, Port Macquarie. That is because the law is the same wherever you are injured as long as it is in New South Wales. Our personal injury compensation lawyers will help you understand your entitlements, get the maximum compensation payable and provide you with the best advice.

Motor Accident Injury Compensation Claims

Being injured in a motor vehicle accident can limit your daily and working life and may cause financial hardship for the rest of your life. You may be entitled to get compensation for medical expenses, economic loss and pain and suffering after being injured in a motor accident. That is regardless whether the accident was caused whilst as a pedestrian or on a motor bike, bicycle or whether you were a passenger or driver in a truck or forklift. Our experienced personal injury compensation lawyers can assist you to maximise your compensation payout for you to continue your life knowing that you have received the best advice and maximum compensation amount payable for your claim.

Total and Permanent Disability Compensation Claims

Unable to work due to injury or illness regardless of the cause? You may be eligible to receive a lump sum payment under your Total and Permanent Disablement (TPD) superannuation policy. Unfortunately a lot of people are not aware of that entitlement within their superannuation policy. Whilst the amounts can be significantly less or significantly more, the usual amount one receives from a successful TPD claim is anywhere between $35,000 – $350,000. This is payable, depending on the policy, when you can establish that you are unable to work in your usual or any other occupation. Our experienced personal injury compensation lawyers can assist you to get the maximum possible TPD claim payout.

Public Liability Compensation Claims

You are entitled to claim compensation for your injuries whether you slip in a public or private property or whether your injury was as a result of the public or property owners negligence. You can get compensated with a compensation for your injuries. Our personal injury compensation lawyers can tell you where you stand and advise you clearly on the whole process to take care of your claim. We work on a No Win No Fee basis, meaning that you do not pay for our legal costs and disbursements unless you win.
