If you’ve been injured, become sick or developed a psychological illness while doing your job, our specialist workers compensation lawyers can help you claim the maximum workers compensation benefits and lump sums you’re entitled to. We’ll also let you know if you’re entitled to any other benefits, such as a TPD lump sum.
Every workers compensation claim is different, and it can be hard to know if you’re getting everything you’re entitled to. It’s also common for insurers to deny part or all of a compensation claim. Our experienced workers compensation lawyers or solicitors can review your claim and make sure you receive your full entitlements. In particular, if you find yourself in a dispute with an insurer, having a one of our workers compensation lawyers on your side will give you a much better chance of success.
We’ll apply to IRO (the Independent Review Office) for funding on your behalf, and this may cover all your legal fees. If you’re pursuing legal action (such as a work injury damages claim), our workers compensation lawyers work on a no win no fee, no disbursements basis, so you only need to pay us back if you win.
If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident in NSW, as a driver, rider, passenger or pedestrian, Law Partners’ specialist car accident compensation lawyers can help you claim all your entitlements, including lump sum payouts for more serious injuries.
Here are three ways our lawyers can help you with your motor accident injury claim:
Common accidents in public places include slips, trips and falls, and other accidents caused by unsafe or poorly maintained facilities. If you’ve been injured in a public place, shop or rental property, speak to one of our specialist public liability compensation lawyers to find out how much you can claim.
Here’s how we’ll manage your public liability claim:
Medical negligence occurs in a range of situations – like hospital stays, specialist treatment, cosmetic surgery, GP and dentist visits. If you’ve been injured or become ill due to negligence by a medical professional, our medical negligence compensation lawyers can tell you whether you can claim compensation then help you get the maximum payout.
When you first call, our medical negligence lawyer will assess your situation and form an opinion on whether you have a valid claim. If they believe you do have a claim, they will then generally arrange one or more medical assessments for you to have their opinion verified by qualified medical professionals. To win your case, we need evidence from a medico-legal expert asserting that medical negligence has occurred.
Once our medical negligence lawyer has established the likelihood of success with your claim, we’ll advise you on your options, and we may offer to work for you on a no win no fee, no disbursements basis. If you proceed, then our medical negligence lawyer will prepare your claim by compiling all the evidence needed including medical records, witness statements, medical reports and forensic accounting reports to substantiate your claim.
If you’re unable to work due to injury or illness, you may be able to make a lump sum claim through your super fund. We can review your super funds for you and tell you how much you can claim, and our specialist TPD lawyers can make sure you receive your full lump sum entitlements.
With one of our specialist TPD claim lawyers you‘ll have a better chance of your lump sum payout being approved. The key to making a successful TPD claim is completing a thorough application and providing all the necessary documents. It’s also important to make a written submission to the superannuation fund explaining why your claim should be approved. So, having our TPD insurance lawyers or solicitors on your side will make the process a lot easier and it’s highly likely you’ll get a better result.
Our TPD lawyers can also check your superannuation funds and find out what cover you have. If you have multiple superannuation funds, they can also help you make multiple TPD claims. Other things you should consider include:
These are all things that our TPD lawyers can help you with to give you the best possible chance of making a successful TPD claim.
