Due diligence is of utmost importance when it comes to the welfare of your family, your home or your business. Every day, we put our trust in professionals: doctors, financial advisers, realtors, builders, engineers, educators or caretakers and many more. We rely on those people to deliver the best outcomes that keep our lives ticking over safely and comfortably.
We should be able to trust our doctors to provide the best care. We expect hospitals to be places of healing. We expect homes for the aged to take good care of the most fragile of our families. And we have every right to have these expectations, and it is their responsibility to deliver.
Accountants, solicitors, and medical professionals are obliged to act "by the book", so when they fail to do what is reasonably expected and it has negative consequences, we become entitled to injury settlement.
Here at Paramount Compensation Lawyers, we have dealt with many different professional negligence cases, as diverse as:
If you have suffered financial injury as the result of professional negligence, we urge you to get in touch with Paramount Compensation Lawyers before time limits come into effect. We will advise you on your personal injury claim and injury settlement.
The Civil Liabilities Act of 2002 protects you in the event of an accident or incident that occurs on public property that you were not responsible for, that causes you injury or death of a loved one. The Act covers injury, death, damage or loss to property, and economic loss which is the result of defective products or negligent service.
Property owners, organisations and individuals are responsible for taking a "reasonable amount of care" to prevent accidents and injuries, and if they don't, you may be entitled to compensation.
Paramount Compensation Lawyers will work with you to prove that the responsible person or organisation, was negligent. In some cases, your injury may fall under different categories of personal injury law and it may involve any of the following:

Superannuation cover is compulsory in Australia, and most policies combine superannuation and TPD (Total Permanent Disability) cover. If you take a look at your super fund policy's fine print, you may notice that you have been paying for TPD as well.
Many people who are faced with personal injuries don't realise that they may be covered for superannuation and TPD. This allows you to benefit from both your investment in the superannuation and TPD policy and compensation from Workers Compensation, public liability or other sources.
While it is easy enough to prove that you're entitled to a death benefit, the TPD compensation will depend on the terms of your superannuation and TPD benefit. This will typically involve the scope of your disability and the period during which you are unable to earn an income, or a portion of your regular income from an occupation for which you are suitably educated, trained, and experienced.
Insurance companies wish to minimise their payouts and often look for loopholes to minimise or avoid paying benefits. Most claimants are referred to medical specialists for assessments. The goal is generally to justify the insurer's decision to deny indemnity by alleging that you are able to work in any role or capacity.
However, Paramount Compensation Lawyers don't give up that quickly. We will assist you in obtaining your own medical reports, and if necessary, commence legal proceedings. An independent judge will decide whether the insurer is reasonable in denying your claim.
We have found that once legal proceedings have commenced, settlement negotiations usually follow and matters are settled before a hearing takes place.

After a personal injury, it is easy to say that the responsible party should pay, but the first step requires proof that the were legally at fault. Determining liability can be complicated, but it usually hinges on carelessness or negligence.
Statistics show that most accidents happen as the result of carelessness and as a rule, if one of the persons involved in the accident took less care than another, the less careful of the two must contribute a portion of the damages suffered by the one who was more careful. This is known as Duty of Care.
The rule of carelessness is determined in conjunction with one or more of the following rules:
A successful car accident claim should result in compensation for pain and suffering, general damages, and loss of quality of life. The severity of your injury will greatly influence the size of your settlement.
The Civil Liability Regulation 2003 lists a range of formulae used to assign financial value to a variety of injuries, and is applicable in Queensland. Here, courts rely on these regulations to reach a decision regarding your compensation settlement.
Once Paramount Compensation Lawyers has reached a settlement with the insurer, you should be compensated for a combination of, or all, of the following:
