If you or a family member has been injured as passenger on board the aircraft, whether was from a plane crash or simply from embarking/disembarking the aircraft, you may have a compensation claim.

Airline injury claims

If you have suffered asbestos or silicosis exposure and have been made ill as a consequence, you may be able to make a compensation claim provided the source of the exposure can be identified.

Whilst most claims are due to being exposed to asbestos at work, claims can also be made even the asbestos exposure is not work related. Roche Legal does not take on any claim unless a formal diagnosis has been made.

Asbestos and dust disease claims

Cyclists injured by a car, truck or motorcycle can claim compensation through the at-fault driver’s CTP insurance. You do not need any insurance of your own, because the claim attaches to the vehicle that hit you. Even if the driver left the scene and cannot be identified, a claim may still be possible, although very strict time limits apply.

Bicycle accident claims

Car accidents are an everyday occurrence but sometimes their effects can totally change your lifestyle. These claims are usually brought against the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) Insurer of the vehicle, no matter who was driving the vehicle, e.g., your spouse, friend, son, daughter etc.

CTP insurance covers most vehicles that cause accidents on the road, including tractors, forklifts, mobility scooters, etc.

Common injuries include:

  • whiplash
  • broken or fractured bones
  • depression, anxiety or PTSD
  • death of a loved one
Car accident and CTP claims

Victim of a Hit and Run?

If you’ve been injured by a careless driver who fled the scene, you can make a CTP claim against the State of Queensland’s Nominal Defendant.

This is a very urgent scenario – strict time limits apply.

Hit and run claims

If you were hit by a car, ute or truck while walking, your claim is usually made against the vehicle’s CTP insurer, even if it happened in a driveway or carpark and even if you were partly to blame.

If you have been injured on or by an e-scooter, your path to compensation is not always obvious, because e-scooters fall outside Queensland’s usual CTP insurance scheme. Whether you were a pedestrian struck by a rider or hurt riding one yourself, you may still be entitled to claim.

Pedestrian accident claims

Did you know that if you have suffered a work injury you may be able to make a claim under your life insurance policy? Sometimes a life insurance policy or income protection can even come as part of a credit card package.

Life and income protection claims

A claim may be brought against a health professional for injuries caused by a health service that falls below the accepted standard. Health professionals hold insurance to cover such claims.

These cases often are complex and expensive to run. Highly skilled legal representation and specialist medical opinion providing reasons why the previous medical professional breached their duty of care is essential.

Medical negligence claims

Injuries suffered on mine sites may give rise to claims against an employer, a mine operator, or both, where safe work systems have failed. Employers and operators hold insurance to cover such claims.

These cases often involve complex liability issues, multiple parties, and strict time limits. Skilled legal representation is essential to properly investigate the circumstances and secure full compensation.

Mine site injury claims

Motorbike accidents are an everyday occurrence but sometimes their effects can totally change your lifestyle. These claims are usually brought against the Compulsory Third Party Insurer of the vehicle, no matter who was driving the vehicle, i.e., spouse, friend, son, daughter etc. Injuries may include, for example:

  • broken or fractured bones
  • death of a loved one
  • depression, anxiety, or PTSD

We can also help you get compensation for the damage to your motorbike and gear.

Motorcycle accident claims

A product liability claim is where an injury and or loss has been sustained because of the use of a defective product or service. In this situation, the manufacturer or sellers of the product may be liable for your injury. These cases range from e.g.:

  • Food poisoning at a restaurant.
  • An exploding fridge.
  • A collapsed newly constructed house.
  • A skin cream which has burned the skin.
Faulty product injury claims

These claims are for injuries which have occurred on private or public property through incidents like, slips, trips, and falls. The claim can made against the ‘occupier’ of the property (usually the owner or tenant) who can often rely on public liability insurance to pay the claim. These types of claims commonly occur in:

  • shopping centres
  • car parks
  • schools
  • private venues
  • rented homes
Public liability claims

Public liability law also applies to injuries sustained on private property. The claim can made against the ‘occupier’ of the property (usually the owner or tenant) who can often rely on public liability insurance to pay the claim. These types of claims commonly occur in:

  • someone else’s home
  • rented homes
  • private venues, including schools

The private place must be owned/occupied by someone other than yourself. You cannot typically make a successful claim against your own property’s public liability insurance.

Private place accident claims

Sexual abuse can occur anywhere at any age. If it happened to you as a child, we’re here to help. Whether it was at the hands of the Church, a Youth Detention Centre, or by staff at a School misusing or abusing their power, you can claim compensation at any time. Making a claim often brings you one step closer to reclaiming your life.

Roche Legal provides representation for claims against institutions only.

Your claim can be kept 100% confidential.

Sexual abuse compensation claims

If you were financially dependent on a loved one who has passed away unexpectedly, you may be entitled to their superannuation benefits and any death benefit insurance within that policy. If the death occurred at the workplace, through a motor vehicle accident, or in circumstances of public liability, additional claims may be possible.

Superannuation death benefit claims

Did you know that you may be entitled to make a lump sum compensation claim through your superannuation fund if you cannot return to work due to injury or illness? This is known as TPD Insurance.

Not all superannuation funds have TPD insurance, but many do. Most people are not even aware that their superannuation fund work has TPD benefits available. You do not have to prove your injury was anyone else’s fault.

TPD insurance claims

Workers’ compensation benefits are easy to obtain as they are paid on a ‘no fault’ basis by insurers such as WorkCover Queensland.

Your employer is also under a duty to provide you with safe systems of work and to ensure your health and safety.

If your employer was negligent or responsible for your injuries, a common law claim may be brought in addition to the benefits paid by WorkCover.

WorkCover and work injury claims

Injured while working for a labour hire company at another business’s site?

You may have claims against both your employer and the company that controlled the workplace.

These hybrid claims can involve different Queensland laws and may allow greater compensation than an ordinary personal injury claim.

Labour hire and hybrid claims

Losing someone you depended on is devastating, and the financial impact can be immediate. If you relied on a loved one who died in a workplace incident, a motor vehicle accident or another preventable event, you may be entitled to claim compensation for that lost financial support.

Other No Win No Fee Claims

Whilst not necessarily personal injury related claims, at our discretion, Roche Legal considers offering representation on a No Win No Fee basis for the following additional types of legal claims. Please note that standard cost protections do not apply when a claim is commercial in nature.

Careful consideration is given to the unique circumstances of each case.

Whilst not personal injury, Roche Legal provides similar ‘no win no fee’ legal representation to those who have been unfairly provided for in a will (or left out all together). Compensation can sometimes be claimed from the executor of the estate.

Will disputes and estate litigation

Professional negligence occurs when the provision of a professional service (such as a service performed by a lawyer, financial advisor, engineer, accountant, etc) is below the acceptable standard and has caused you loss as a consequence.

Roche Legal acts in select professional negligence matters, where the dispute relates to missing important personal injury time limitations, or improper deceased estate administration.
