Our L&H personal injury compensation lawyers, Fiona & Mala, have over 30 years of shared experience in personal injury claims.

We can assist with statutory claims as well as common law claims to ensure you receive the maximum compensation available.
Types of Claims our Sunshine Coast Lawyers Can Help You With
WORK ACCIDENTS
Work accidents refer to injuries that occur as a result of performing job-related tasks or whilst travelling to or from work. Employers typically have workers’ compensation insurance to cover medical expenses and lost wages for injured employees. However, we can represent you in pursuing additional compensation for your work injuries, treatment needs and future loss of income and superannuation.
CAR ACCIDENTS
Car accidents involve collisions between vehicles or between a vehicle and a pedestrian or cyclist. If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident as a driver or passenger, as a cyclist, a motorcyclist or even as a pedestrian, you may be able to claim compensation for your injuries (and the impact those injuries have had upon you) from the insurer for that vehicle. We can discuss your legal options and help you make a successful claim.
MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS
Motorbike accidents involve an accident between a motorcycle and another vehicle. These accidents can often result in serious injuries such as fractures, brain injuries and amputations. Compensation for your injuries is sought from the insurer for the driver who was at fault for the accident. Our lawyers are experienced in dealing with insurers and complex legal matters to ensure you are properly compensated.
PEDESTRIAN OR CYCLIST ACCIDENTS
These accidents occur when pedestrians or cyclists are struck by vehicles. They often happen in car parks, on pedestrian crossings, or on the road. Injuries can be severe due to the vulnerability of pedestrians and cyclists compared to motor vehicles. Victims may pursue compensation through the at-fault driver’s insurance. Pedestrians or cyclists struck by vehicles may suffer significant pain and life disruption. We help victims pursue compensation and support recovery.
PUBLIC PLACE OR PRIVATE PROPERTY ACCIDENTS
Accidents that occur on boats, in public places (like parks and shopping centres) or on private property (such as homes or businesses) fall into this category. These can include slips, trips, or falls, and may result from hazards like wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poorly maintained areas. Claims for compensation are pursued against the insurer for the property owner or vessel.
TOTAL AND PERMANENT DISABILITY SUPERANNUATION CLAIMS
A total and permanent disability claim is made when an individual becomes unable to work in any occupation for which they are suited by education, training, or experience. Every personal injury matter is treated individually, with advice tailored to your situation. Your superannuation often has automatic insurance coverage for TPD claims, which can assist you financially if you are unable to work due to injury or illness.
