STANDOUT SERVICE & RESULTS
Our successful workers compensation practice is underpinned by these core values:
- Consistency and continuity
The same lawyer will handle a claim from commencement to conclusion. Where appropriate, we work cohesively with our workplace, catastrophic claims and dust diseases teams to ensure all implications of any workers compensation claim can be assessed and managed from the time of the event until finalisation of litigation.
- Effective communication
We provide clients with prompt, regular and full reports and give definitive advice on liability and quantum as soon as possible.
- Efficiency and cost minimisation
Our statistical tracking indicates 97% of matters we handle resolve by settlement, with just over 2% determined at hearing, and a further 1% on appeal.
- Responsiveness
Our lawyers are ready to step in with general advice or make themselves available on short notice to attend meetings with clients. We help clients stay informed by communicating important developments in the law and arranging free seminars.
- Client-centred focus
We play a constructive role in establishing and maintaining good relations with your customers to ensure they remain satisfied policyholders.
