Personal Injury and Workplace Accident Compensation Claims

---

Personal injury and workplace accidents can have long-term physical, financial and psychological consequences. 

While returning to work is often a priority, the effects of an injury may continue well beyond the initial recovery period, particularly where ongoing treatment, reduced earning capacity or permanent impairment is involved.

Our accredited specialist team provides strategic legal advice and representation to individuals injured at work or as a result of another party’s negligence.

Workplace and personal injury claims are subject to strict procedural requirements and time limitations under Australian legislation. We advise on:

• Eligibility to bring a workers’ compensation or personal injury claim;
• Notice and limitation periods;
• Liability and causation issues;
• Evidence gathering, including medical, employment and wage records;
• Interaction between statutory benefits and common law damages;
• Independent medical examinations;
• Permanent impairment assessments;
• Functional capacity and vocational assessments; and
• Quantification of past and future loss.

This early assessment allows claims to be properly positioned from the outset and reduces the risk of unnecessary delay or dispute.

We act for injured clients in relation to a broad range of matters, including:

• Workplace accidents and industrial injuries;
• Psychological and stress-related injury claims;
• Serious injury and permanent impairment claims;
• Common law damages arising from workplace incidents;
• Public liability and occupier’s liability injuries; and
• Slip, trip and fall accidents.

Claims may include compensation for medical and rehabilitation expenses, loss of income, future economic loss, pain and suffering, loss of amenities, and other recoverable heads of damage.

Where claims are disputed or settlement cannot be reached, representation is provided through all relevant dispute resolution channels, including:

• Review and appeal processes;
• Compulsory conferences and mediations; and
• District Court and Supreme Court proceedings.

Our litigation experience ensures that personal injury claims are prepared on a litigation-ready basis, even where early resolution is pursued, in order to ensure that our clients recover the maximum compensation possible.

We work on a ‘no-win no fee’ basis and offer an obligation free initial consultation to all new clients.
