Our approach to Comcare claims

The approach of our Comcare team is to give you, our client, the best chance of securing the best compensation payout possible.

First, we listen to you and let you tell your story. It’s your life. We know how difficult and even painful it can be to tell it and to deal with the financial and emotional consequences of injury.

Next, we advise you on the legal strategy we intend to pursue on your behalf. It will be a clear plan for success so that you know exactly what we are both trying to achieve on your behalf.

At this point, we encourage you to ask questions. Put us on notice. It is only when we work as a team that we achieve the best results.

You will then be given a clear account of fees and costs and left with a fee proposal to take away to consider. There is NEVER any hard sell.

We approach negotiations with Comcare and their agents as if we were going to court, using the best barristers who have years of experience, and with a clear picture in mind of the compensation range we want to secure on your behalf.
