Our Services

If you've suffered an injury - whether in a transport accident, workplace incident, or on private or public property - you may be eligible for compensation.

Navigating the legal process can be overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. Our experienced team of personal injury lawyers is here to provide clear, straightforward advice tailored to your situation.

A personal injury claim is a legal action to seek compensation from the person, business or government agency responsible for your injury. However, some compensation entitlements may be available to you regardless of fault. Our expert lawyers will guide you through the relevant laws, ensuring you understand your rights and receive the support you need to make informed decisions.

We take pride in offering compassionate, professional, and results-driven legal representation, working to secure the best possible outcome for you in the shortest time frame. Whether you're seeking compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, or pain and suffering, we will be by your side every step of the way.

Some forms of personal injury compensation entitlements are available to you regardless of fault and our expert compensation lawyers will guide you through the relevant laws relating to your injury to provide you with the advice and assistance you need.

  • Injured in a transport accident?

You may be entitled to benefits under the TAC scheme, including medical treatment, loss of income and a lump sum compensation claim.

  • Injured at work?

Workers' compensation laws can be complex, but our team can help you claim the benefits you're entitled to through WorkCover.

  • Injured on private or public property?

If you've been hurt due to unsafe conditions, you may have a public liability compensation claim.

I highly recommend Fortitude Legal. Adam and Michelle were absolutely amazing, they helped me achieve the outcome I needed. I’m so grateful to both of them.
Going thru workplace injury is so stressful but thanks to Fortitude Legal for making this process smoother and less stressful. They took care of absolutely everything for me and the outcome was much better than I could have imagined. I highly recommend Fotitude Legal and especially Adam. He did a great job and I couldn't have asked for more.
Adam and the team were amazing. They were constantly in contact and nothing was a problem. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
Our family cannot recommend Fortitude Legal and Tom Burgoyne more highly! He is a knowledgeable caring and extremely professional member of this amazing team. From reception to outcome we were confident in his ability to get the result deserved. We cannot recommend this practice any more highly! We are extremely happy and satisfied with the care and compassion we were shown through our process. We will be forever grateful!!!
Always had alot going on in the background, but kept me updated as needed. Thanks Guys
Wasn't so sure about Cameron when we first met, but I had been given a good recommendation by someone I trusted.
Everything was explained to me, then as we got to each step it was explained again.
Nothing was too much trouble & when I wouldn't be helped by the insurance company a phone call from Fortitude would quickly have it sorted.
Fortitude Legal could not have done better with my claim, they really put the effort & fight in for me.
They were most mindful of a person illness I was also recovering from at that time

Thank you to all who work in the Ballarat Office of Fortitude Legal you really have helped get me to the next stage of my life without worrying
Highly recommend fortitude legal for any personal injury claim
Cameron, Fiona, Jenni and staff were very easy to deal with. I would recommend Fortitude Legal any day they were all very supportive throughout my 5 year process. Thank you all at Fortitude Legal.
Where do I start! From my first conversation with Cameron, and then Fiona (& their staff Jenni & Ashlee) I have felt heard, understood & informed. Knowledgeable, articulate, understanding & empathetic all the way through. Nothing was too much trouble - even having to repeat themselves for me when I didn't quite get it! Their communication was excellent as we waited for, what at times seemed like ages, things to go through the system. I will be forever grateful for the help & counsel that I received (I don't know where I would have been without it). I thoroughly recommend Fortitude Legal to anyone needing assistance.
I was in consultation with Fiona Goodie, one of their lawyers, and I have never felt so heard and understood. She was truly amazing and explained everything so well for me. There was no stress because ultimately I had the say over my case, which left me feeling a lot lighter in all aspects. I would recommend fortitude to anyone, especially Fiona.
