Personal Injury & Compensation Brisbane

We never expect the products we buy day in and day out to be faulty. From the cars we drive to the food we eat, manufacturer defects have the potential to cause permanent physical injury, serious illness, and even death.

If a faulty product has injured you, you may be entitled to personal injury proceedings if the manufacturer was negligent.

This area of law often involves a complex mix of legislation, common law, and interactions with workers’ compensation insurance companies. At Chamberlains, our personal injury lawyers Brisbane are diligent, hard-working, and experienced in managing claims effectively while clearly outlining any legal costs.

Being the victim of institutional abuse is a traumatic experience, not many people will ever be able to understand. This results in you feeling traumatised, baffled and powerless. A Brisbane compensation injury lawyer can help you by standing with you throughout the process of making a claim.

At Chamberlains, we offer you legal services in a supportive and understanding environment to help you feel empowered and equipped to handle the situation. We will assist you in finding suitable compensation for your traumatic experience.

A lot of the time, compensation involves money, but it can also involve an apology or admission of guilt. The latter can help provide closure to victims in a way money just cannot.

When you are injured, worrying about money should be the last thing on your mind. However, all too often, financial struggles become a focal point in your life when injury prevents you from working.

Insurance Companies fight hard to avoid having to make a payout. When it comes time to pay up, several issues can pop up seemingly out of nowhere that may prevent you from receiving what you are entitled to.

Our dedicated compensation lawyers in Brisbane will take care of all the hard work and help you sort through these issues so you can focus on your recovery rather than financials and legal fees.

Accidents such as slips, trips, and falls can happen to us at any time and, in some cases, can lead to costly trips to the doctor or life-changing injuries.

Everyone should expect to be safe when in a public or private space. However, if you injure yourself, you may be entitled to compensation benefits, including assistance with present & future medical bills, medical aids & equipment, pain & suffering, and lost wages.

Common claim examples include:

• Injuries on public or private property (slips, trips & falls).
• Unsafe premises (such as balconies, stairs, surfaces).
• Injuries while at recreational facilities.
• Animal attacks.
• Physical assaults.
• Sporting injuries.

Total & Permanent Disability (TPD) insurance may entitle you to a lump sum payment if you are injured and cannot return to work, and is often provided as a part of your basic superannuation membership.

Making a claim can be complicated. Establishing all the evidence requirements and meeting all the time periods can be confusing, and it is a serious legal process you want to get right the first time. Chamberlains’ team of injury compensation lawyers in Brisbane can not only help you make a claim, but also assist if your claim is rejected by your insurer.

The right to a healthy and safe work environment is a statutory right for all Australian workers. Unfortunately, despite this right, thousands of workers are injured on the job every year due to poor site conditions or dangerous practices.

If you’ve been injured at work, you could be entitled to benefits under the Workers Compensation Scheme. Compliance with certain deadlines by workers’ compensation lawyers is essential, so having the assistance of a Brisbane work injury compensation lawyer can ensure you meet all requirements in a timely manner.

The insurance lawyers at Chamberlains can guide you through making a Worker’s Compensation claim. From advising on your prospects to lodging a claim to handling disputes with your employer or insurer, we get the job done.

When you seek help from professionals with skills in a specialised trade or service, such as accountants, tradesmen, engineers or lawyers, you expect a certain standard of quality in their work. When professionals fall short of these standards, you’re left worse off than before, with additional bills to repair any damage.

Poor planning, bad recommendations, incorrect advice and just plain old mistakes could all be the result of professional negligence. If you suffer a loss from a professional’s shortcomings, you could be entitled to compensation.

If you think one of your professional advisors has gotten it wrong, let us make it right.

No matter how good a driver you are, there is no accounting for other people’s actions on the road. If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident you could be entitled to claim compensation for pain and damage, as well as any time off work, medical expenses and loss of earnings.

Institutional abuse can also occur within care facilities and is usually caused by an employee of the facility.
