Our Accredited Specialist in Personal Injury Law, along with our dedicated legal team, will help you understand your rights and the legal process. We will explore all your options and devise the best approach to secure a favourable outcome for your case. 

Depending on the specifics of your incident, you might be entitled to claim compensation from different sources, such as a public liability insurer, the Local Council or a Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurer. We will guide you through the appropriate claim type for your situation, whether it involves: 

Public liability: This involves accidents that occur in public places such as town centres, parks or shopping centres, where the property owner or occupier may be held responsible for injuries sustained due to their negligence. Examples include slips, trips and falls on poorly maintained pavements or wet floors. 

Motor accidents: These claims cover various incidents involving vehicles, including car crashes, truck accidents and collisions with pedestrians or cyclists. Victims can seek compensation for injuries, vehicle damage and other related losses. Motor accident claims also extend to accidents involving forklifts and other industrial vehicles. 

Workers compensation and work injury damages: This type of claim is applicable to all workers in New South Wales (NSW) under state legislation, regardless of whether the employer is insured. It covers injuries sustained at the workplace or while performing work-related duties. Compensation may include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs and loss of income due to the inability to work. 

Institutional or historical child abuse: These claims address instances of abuse that occurred within institutions such as schools, churches or orphanages. Victims of historical child abuse can seek compensation for the physical and psychological harm they suffered, even if the abuse took place many years ago. The process involves gathering evidence and testimonies to support the claim. 

Medical negligence: This type of claim arises when a healthcare professional fails to provide the standard of care expected, resulting in injury or harm to the patient. Examples include misdiagnosis, surgical errors or improper treatment. Claimants can seek compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering and any additional care required due to the negligence. 

Assault or battery: Victims of intentional physical harm or threats can pursue compensation through an assault or battery claim. These claims address damages resulting from acts of violence, including medical costs, lost wages and emotional distress. Legal action can be taken against individuals or entities responsible for the assault. 

Total and permanent disability: This type of claim is relevant for individuals who suffer a disability that entirely prevents them from working in any capacity. Compensation can be sought through superannuation funds or insurance policies that include coverage for total and permanent disability. The claim process involves providing medical evidence to demonstrate the extent of the disability and its impact on the claimant’s ability to work.

We will help you gather essential evidence, such as CCTV footage and verified statements from medical professionals, to strengthen your claim. Our team will also ensure you understand what to expect during negotiations and the final settlement, keeping you informed every step of the way.
