No Win No Fee Personal Injury Lawyers, Adelaide.

You may be entitled to make a Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) claim for compensation if an injury, illness or disease means that you are unable to work in a job for which you are qualified. If you have private insurance or insurance provided by your super fund, you may be able to claim a lump sum, or receive your superannuation balance early. There is no time limit for lodging a claim, so even if you stopped working some years ago, you may still be eligible for compensation.

The first step in making a TPD claim is to provide our legal services team with a copy of your policy so that our personal injury lawyers can review how TPD is defined. If you don't have a copy of your policy, we can assist in obtaining it from your superannuation fund or insurer. Many clients are actually unaware that such an insurance policy is attached to their super fund.

We will then compile an employment history and obtain medical reports in order to show how the condition has impacted your capacity to work, and then present these to the insurer.

It is unfortunately the case that medical treatment sometimes results in injury, loss and damage. We have a team of medical negligence lawyers Adelaide can rely on to provide all their legal needs.

MKF Lawyers specialise in medical negligence compensation claims, so we appreciate the inherent difficulties in using the law against a medical professional. However, we have the experience and expertise required to provide legal representation in medical negligence claims when a provider has failed in their duty of care, has not properly investigated or diagnosed an injury or illness, has not provided adequate treatment, or has failed to obtain consent for medical treatment.

If you are considering pursuing a claim for medical negligence, it is important to know that the legal system requires you to provide notice within six months of an injury, while all claims for injury as a result of medical negligence need to be made within three years. Therefore, you should contact our personal injury lawyers as soon as possible so we can help you achieve a favourable outcome.

A public liability claim can be made against the owner and/or occupier of a property when an individual enters that property and is then injured, resulting in damage and losses. You may therefore be entitled to claim public liability compensation if you enter business or commercial properties, such as shopping centres, and then incur personal injury as a result of a situation the owner/occupier has created.

There are a range of circumstances under which public liability claims can be made. These can include tripping and slipping, suffering a fall as a result of inadequate lighting, or being subject to a dangerous situation created by the owner/occupier, e.g. a fire.

As the result of personal injury sustained in such circumstances, you may be entitled to make a public liability compensation claim for pain and suffering, loss of earnings and superannuation entitlements, care and assistance, as well as travel and medical expenses. Under personal injury law, the level of public liability compensation you are entitled to receive will depend on the severity of any injury, and how it has impacted on your work and daily living activities.

If you or a loved one has been the subject of a dog attack on public or private property in your local community, and have suffered a psychological or physical personal injury as a result, you may be entitled to receive compensation. Our personal injury lawyers can represent you in this matter under a no win, no fee arrangement.

In order to make a personal injury claim as the result of an attack by a dog, you will need to be able to show who the owner of the dog is, that you suffered a personal injury, have incurred losses in terms of work and income, and have had to pay out of pocket expenses for medical treatment. Our role as lawyers is to assist you in establishing this.

Under current personal injury law in South Australia, you need to provide notice of your claim within 6 months of the occurrence of any injury suffered, and there is a three year limit on lodging a dog attack claim. Our Adelaide lawyers will advise you at every stage of the process to ensure you are complying with the law in this regard.
