Personal Injury & Compensation Law

A personal injury is a traumatic event that can have a significant impact on your quality of life and financial security, both now and in the future.  Our compensation lawyers know that making a claim for compensation is a daunting prospect and for most people, they won’t know where to start. We can help you to navigate the process.

In Victoria, claims can be made depending on the type of accident that caused the injury. Workplace injuries and transport accidents are covered by specific legislative schemes while other types of claims are made directly against the party responsible.

We have extensive experience acting for individuals who have suffered injuries in a range of circumstances.  We prioritise client communication and ensure that you have a clear understanding of your legal rights and the options available to you.

At Sullivan Braham our solicitors can assist with many types of personal injury claims including:

• Medical negligence: If you been injured as a result of negligent medical advice or treatment you may be able to claim for damages as you have a reasonable expectation to receive correct treatment from trained medical practitioners.
• Public liability: If you have been injured in a public place and someone else is at fault such as a landowner, an event organiser or other entity you may be entitled to an award of damages to compensate you for your loss.
• Transport accident claims: If you have suffered an injury as a result of a road accident you may be entitled to compensation from the Victorian Transport Accident Commission (TAC).
