Compensation Law Firm in Parramatta
At McAuley Lawyers, we assist clients with a range of injury and compensation matters. The circumstances, evidence, and legal requirements can differ significantly between one type of claim and another, so understanding which area applies to your situation is an important first step.
Our compensation lawyers in Parramatta provide advice across the following areas:
Medical Negligence
Medical negligence claims may arise when treatment provided by a doctor, hospital, or other healthcare professional falls below the required standard of care and causes injury or loss. These matters can require detailed medical evidence to determine whether negligence occurred and whether it caused the resulting harm.
WorkCover Prosecution
WorkCover-related proceedings can involve complex workplace safety obligations, investigations, and prosecution matters.
Superannuation / TPD Claims
A Total and Permanent Disability claim may be available through a superannuation fund or insurance policy when an illness or injury prevents a person from returning to work in circumstances covered by their policy.
We can help you understand the relevant policy requirements as well as assisting with preparing supporting material and navigating the claims process.
Work Injury
People injured at work may have rights under the applicable workers compensation framework. Claims can involve medical expenses, lost income, and other consequences arising from an injury.
Motor Accident Injuries
People injured in a road accident may be entitled to pursue compensation depending on their circumstances.
Motor accident claims can involve CTP insurers, medical evidence, treatment expenses, loss of income, and strict procedural requirements.
Public Liability Claims
Public liability claims can arise when someone is injured in a public place, business premises, rental property, or another location where another party may have failed to take reasonable care.
Examples can include slips and falls, unsafe premises, accidents in shopping centres, and other incidents resulting in injury.
Sexual, Physical, & Institutional Abuse
Survivors of sexual, physical or institutional abuse may have legal options for seeking compensation and accountability. These matters require particularly sensitive, confidential, and considered legal assistance.
