Sue took the time to craft a handmade thank you card for the whole team.

Sabrina came to us after suffering a significant injury to her neck at work. For these injuries Sabrina underwent a cervical spine discectomy and spinal fusion – an extremely invasive procedure. After receiving weekly payments for almost 4 years, the WorkCover claims agent decided to stop Sabrina’s payments on the basis that they say her work was no longer a cause of her injuries and she could return to work!...

Ben, a hardworking Carpenter owner-builder, was involved in a motor vehicle accident that caused severe injuries to his lungs, liver as well as multiple fractures to his ribs and pelvis. He came to us seeking our support and guidance to assist him through the process of making a TAC claim.  We resolved his matter in 2016 achieving an excellent outcome for Ben. It would seem the outcome has truly benefited...

On the day of her accident, Ursula was catching up with close friends at a café. After paying, she was the first to exit the café, when she missed two steps down at the exit and fell. We fought hard for Ursula’s claim and did a lot of investigations. We also got an expert report which was supportive of her claim. We were able to get her compensation without going...

Danny fell through a hole in a concrete roof at his work and sustained a serious injury from the fall. He required surgery to his arm and had ongoing problems with day to day and work activities. After the accident in 2006 he attempted to handle his claim with WorkCover himself but, found the WorkCover insurer unwilling to approve the additional medical treatment that he needed. He came to Henry...

John came to our office after a very tragic accident. His son was killed while playing basketball at his neighbour’s home when the brick wall against which the basketball hoop was attached came down upon him. He was killed instantly, and sadly John watched it all happen. He suffered a psychiatric reaction to the event and asked us if he could receive compensation for his loss. We believed he could...

Mrs Vexler was crossing a side street on her way to a chemist after some shopping. In doing so a truck started reversing at a relatively fast speed which caught Mrs Vexler’s attention and she quickly stepped away from the truck to avoid a collision. Unfortunately, she stepped on an even surface and sustained a nasty ankle injury. Our office quickly attended the accident site and sought the TAC make...

Craig engaged the services of our firm after he suffered a serious back injury from years of physical work and heavy lifting. Unfortunately, Craig’s claim was initially rejected, and he wasn’t able to access his no-fault entitlements under the Workers’ Compensation Scheme. We were able to assist Craig in getting his claim accepted, which enabled access to the treatment that he needed and weekly payments to help alleviate financial strain....

Geoff came to us after suffering an injury to his back whilst volunteering at a working bee at his local archery club. Geoff was injured when he was directed by another member of the club to go up into the roof area of the clubhouse to retrieve some equipment for a tournament. The roof area was dark and Geoff had never been up there before. He was not given any...

Ken came to our office after having a fall at a restaurant while working as a chef. What made Ken’s claim different was that he was 69 years old when his accident happened. He had been asked by his employer to return back to work after his retirement to help out when he was short of staff. Ken suffered a nasty hip injury which led to a total hip replacement...
