Car Accidents
Looking for a lawyer for car accidents? If so, you’re in the right place. A person injured in a motor vehicle accident can claim compensation if the accident was the fault of another driver.
Personal Injury Claims
If you have sustained an injury in a public place or at your workplace, due to another person’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation in situations where you are unable to remain active. These are called personal injury claims.
Public Liabilities
There are a number of injuries that fall under Public Liability – so if you’ve suffered an injury from walking on a badly paved path or from defective products/services, you may be eligible to make a personal injury claim.
Workers Compensation
If you’re injured at work, or on your way to or from work, you have the right to receive workers compensation.
Asbestos Compensation Claims
In the 20th Century, asbestos was widely used in Australia for many industrial and domestic applications. Unfortunately, if microscopic asbestos fibres become airborne and are inhaled, they irritate the lung tissue around them and can cause a number of asbestos-related illnesses.
Medical Negligence
Medical negligence lawsuits are becoming more prevalent as people seek to protect their rights in regards to medical malpractice. These types of personal injury claims can be complex, which is why it’s important to contact a medical negligence lawyer as soon as possible.
Professional Negligence
A claim for compensation is usually the only way to recover loss resulting from a professional’s negligence. If you require guidance on making a personal injury claim, our professional negligence lawyers are here to help.
