How we can help
Seeking Compensation for Workplace Injuries

Our experienced team will work diligently to ensure you receive the maximum amount of compensation for your injuries and that your case is handled efficiently and transparently.
Costs and Fees
In contentious business, a solicitor may not calculate fees or other charges as a percentage or proportion of any award or settlement.
Understanding Employer's Duties and Employee's Rights
- Safe Workplace: Employers are required to provide and maintain a safe workplace, including safe equipment and machinery.
- Risk Prevention: It is the duty of the employer to prevent risks associated with the use of any equipment, substances, and exposure to harmful physical agents.

- Protective Gear: Provision of appropriate protective clothing and equipment is essential, depending on the nature of the work.
- Preventing Unsafe Conduct: Employers must take steps to prevent any conduct that could jeopardise the safety, health, and welfare of employees.
