Services
Motor Vehicle Accident Claims
We represent clients injured in motor vehicle accidents where they were not at fault. Our no-win no-fee service covers compensation for physical injuries, emotional trauma, lost income, and medical expenses. With expertise in CTP insurance claims and Nominal Defendant cases, we ensure timely lodgment within strict Queensland time limits while managing all legal processes on your behalf.
Workers Compensation Claims
Our team handles statutory and common law claims for workplace injuries covered by WorkCover Queensland or private insurers. We assist with medical expense reimbursement, wage replacement, and lump sum payments for permanent disabilities. Our expertise includes repetitive strain injuries, psychological trauma, and complex cases involving contractors or labour hire arrangements across Queensland industries.
Public Liability Claims
We pursue claims for injuries sustained in public spaces, rental properties, or through defective products. Our services cover slip-and-fall incidents, recreational accidents, and catastrophic injuries requiring long-term care. We calculate compensation for pain and suffering, future medical costs, and lost earning capacity while ensuring compliance with Queensland's three-year claim limitation period.
TPD & Superannuation Claims
Our specialists manage total and permanent disability claims through superannuation funds and private insurers. We handle own-occupation and any-occupation TPD definitions, income protection policies, and trauma insurance claims. We also assist with early superannuation release for financial hardship while challenging rejected claims through formal reviews or court proceedings when necessary.
Life Insurance Claims
We assist beneficiaries in claiming life insurance proceeds from superannuation funds or private policies. Our services include terminal illness claims requiring dual medical certification and dependant benefit negotiations. We challenge denied claims while ensuring compliance with policy-specific time limits for initiating legal action against insurers.
