  • Treatment costs for medical and rehabilitation expenses
  • Weekly payments if you are unable to work and require income support
  • Lump sum payments for permanent impairment
  • Reimbursement for travel to medical appointments
  • Support for families of those fatally injured
  • Common Law damages for serious injury

​I cannot highly recommend Adam and Michelle enough. From the very begining they completely took the stress and worry out of a very daunting process. ​Adam’s expertise, care, clear guidance, and reassuring approach kept me well-informed every step of the way. Michelle was equally incredible— so caring, exceptionally organised, prompt, and always a step ahead, ensuring absolutely nothing slipped through the cracks. They make such an outstanding team. ​Thank you both so much for your amazing support over the last few years, I am forever grateful. Kylie.

After a serious accident that turned my life upside down and left me with ongoing physical challenges, it was incredibly reassuring to work with such a professional and ethical legal firm. Tom and Michelle were consistently honest, supportive, and compassionate, especially during the most stressful moments when the defendant kept trying to avoid responsibility. Their guidance made a huge difference. I would confidently recommend them to anyone needing legal support for an injury matter. Thank you for securing the best possible outcome for me.
