Melanoma lawyers in Queensland

Maurice Blackburn offers legal advice and professional law services for those with occupational melanoma. Our occupational lawyers can help you understand your case and claim the compensation you deserve.

It's no secret that Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world, with around 200 cases of occupational melanoma reported every year. If exposure to sunlight during work has caused or significantly contributed to your illness, you may have the right to compensation.

Industries in which workers typically face overexposure include construction, agriculture, forestry, and work involving vehicles. Outdoor workers in Australia are five to 10 times more likely than indoor workers to be exposed to UV, so they are more at risk of developing occupational melanoma.

If you have contracted melanoma or any other form of skin cancer at work, then you and your family may be eligible to receive compensation.

We work closely with victims of occupational melanoma to help them win fair compensation for their illness.

We are a national firm with Queensland offices in Brisbane, Browns Plains, Caboolture, Cairns, Gold Coast, Ipswich, Mackay, Rockhampton, Strathpine, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, Townsville, and throughout Australia.

We provide our services on a 'no win, no fee'* basis. This means that you will only pay our legal fees if you receive a settlement or compensation. You would not be charged our fees if the claim is not pursued after investigation.
