Suffered an injury at work? We can help

If you suffer an injury at work, or the nature and conditions of your employment cause you to suffer an injury, you are entitled to claim workers compensation benefits. Workers’ Compensation is a basic safety net which operates on a no fault system and it is important that all of your worker’s compensation rights and entitlements be fully explored by a specialist lawyer.

You may also have common law rights to claim damages if the injury was caused by someone else’s fault.

Injured in a motor vehicle or motorbike crash?

If you are injured in a motor vehicle crash as a driver, passenger, pedestrian, cyclist, passerby or motorbike rider, you may be able to claim compensation for the road accident. We can assist with lodging a motor vehicle claim to help you claim compensation for any losses you have suffered because of the injury.

There are strict time limits that apply to making a motor vehicle claim so you should seek legal advice as soon as possible after the accident.
