Workers' Compensation
Our workers' compensation lawyers assist clients who have sustained physical or psychological injuries in the workplace. We guide clients through the claims process, ensuring they receive financial support for medical expenses, lost income, and long-term compensation. With expertise in WorkCover and Comcare schemes, we negotiate with insurers to secure fair settlements, prioritising client recovery and rights.
Road Accident Claims
We specialise in road accident claims for drivers, passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians injured in collisions. Our team ensures clients access TAC or CTP insurance benefits, covering medical costs, rehabilitation, and lost earnings. We handle fault-based and no-fault claims across Australia, advocating for maximum compensation for injuries like spinal damage, brain trauma, and chronic pain.
Medical Negligence
Our medical negligence lawyers represent clients harmed by substandard healthcare, including misdiagnosis, surgical errors, and birth injuries. We work with medical experts to prove liability and secure compensation for ongoing treatment, pain and suffering, and financial losses. With Australia's largest medical negligence department, we deliver results in complex cases nationwide.
Class Actions
We lead class actions against corporations and institutions for systemic harm, including product liability, data breaches, and workplace exploitation. Our team has secured landmark settlements, such as the Black Saturday bushfires case, ensuring collective justice for affected groups while maintaining transparent communication throughout the litigation process.
Asbestos Diseases
We represent clients with asbestos-related illnesses like mesothelioma and asbestosis, caused by occupational exposure. Our lawyers trace liability to employers or manufacturers, securing compensation for medical care, pain and suffering, and family support. We provide compassionate, home-visiting services to accommodate clients' health needs.
