Types of Compensation Claims We Handle
Our experienced compensation lawyers cover a wide range of personal injury and loss claims. Here are the 10 most common types of compensation claims we handle in South Australia:
- Work Injury Compensation
If you’ve been injured at work, you may be entitled to compensation under Return to Work SA (RTWSA). Our work injury lawyers help you navigate the workers' compensation process, ensuring your medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs are covered. Learn more about work injury claims. - Motor Vehicle Accident Compensation
Whether you were involved in a car accident, motorcycle accident, or pedestrian incident, you may be eligible for compensation for injuries caused by another driver’s negligence. We help you pursue claims for medical costs, lost income, and ongoing care.
- Public Liability Claims
If you’ve suffered an injury in a public place due to someone else’s negligence—such as a slip, trip, or fall—you may be entitled to a public liability claim. We ensure you’re compensated for your injuries and any associated losses. - Medical Negligence Claims
Medical errors, misdiagnoses, or surgical mistakes can lead to devastating consequences. Our medical negligence lawyers in Adelaide can help you hold healthcare providers accountable and secure compensation for your medical expenses and suffering.

If you’ve been injured by a defective product, whether it’s faulty machinery, unsafe consumer goods, or dangerous medical devices, you may be entitled to compensation from the manufacturer or supplier. - Asbestos and Occupational Disease Compensation
Workers exposed to hazardous materials like asbestos can suffer long-term health consequences. If you’ve developed a disease as a result of workplace exposure, we can help you seek compensation for medical treatment and lost income. - Superannuation and TPD (Total and Permanent Disability) Claims
If you’re unable to work due to a long-term injury or illness, you may be able to claim Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) benefits through your superannuation. Our team can assist you with lodging and managing these claims. - Victims of Crime Compensation
Victims of violent crime may be entitled to compensation for physical or psychological harm. We help clients navigate South Australia’s victims of crime compensation scheme to receive financial support. - Catastrophic Injury Compensation
Severe accidents that result in catastrophic injuries—such as spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, or amputations—require long-term medical care and rehabilitation. We help clients secure compensation that covers both immediate and future needs.
