Comcare claims lawyers
Comcare is the name for the Commonwealth workers’ compensation scheme.

This means that if you are covered by Comcare you can claim compensation for injuries or diseases caused or made worse by your work. You are entitled to claim for payment for benefits such as time off work, household and attendant care services, permanent impairment and non-economic loss, and all reasonable medical expenses including treatment, medication and more.
Consumer protection
Consumer protection is a broad area of law that includes product liability and faulty products. This can cover injuries to the person making the claim or to someone else, the death of another person, and loss caused by damage to goods, buildings and land. Compensation can cover:

- medical costs (including future costs)
- lost income
- pain, suffering and lost enjoyment of life
- home help and attendant care.

Our consumer protection lawyers are experienced in helping people with a wide range of issues, such as damages or injuries caused by faulty goods.
