Workers compensation, road accident and public liability injuries

We know that claiming workers' compensation can be a complicated and involved process, that’s why we have a team of expert lawyers that specialise in WorkCover and workplace injuries claims. We assist clients who've had an accident at work, or whose health and wellbeing have been affected in the workplace, this also applies to any pre-existing injury, illness or disease worsened in the workplace.  Our aim is to help our clients manage financially while not fully able to work and to access the appropriate treatment and rehabilitation in order to return to work as quickly as possible.

Our specialist road accident lawyers assist clients injured on our roads while driving a car, truck or motorcycle, or travelling as a passenger, cyclist or pedestrian.

Our highly experienced personal injury lawyers understand every aspect of the road accident legal system and know how to ensure our clients access their full range of benefits to maximise their recovery.

Public liability law covers a wide range of circumstances where people have been injured, or where someone close to them has died, due to the negligent acts of a third party. These accidents may have occurred in a public place, such as a shopping centre, a park, or even on the footpath.
