[Townsville, 08/07/2019]- Connolly Suthers knows the life-changing impact of debilitating injuries from an accident. A person may go through severe emotional damage or have to lose income and the ability to support a family. No matter the case, the experienced personal injury lawyers at Connoly Suthers can help clients file a compensation claim.

Among its cases are workplace accidents and medical negligence.

Workplace Accidents

Employees who have had an accident at or whose health has been affected by work may file a compensation claim. This claim may cover injuries that occurred at work or as a result of the work. According to Connolly Suthers, employees whose pre-existing injuries were aggravated may also file a claim.

The firm, however, recommends filing as soon as the injury occurs. A majority of cases require a three-year time limit. As such, prompt legal advice is essential.

The firm recommends completing a WorkCover claim form and seeking a medical certificate when filing a personal injury claim. The lawyers will then guide its clients through the entire process, from the beginning of the claim until they receive the compensation they deserve.

Aside from working with injured employees, the firm also works with patients who have received incorrect or inadequate medical treatment.

Medical Negligence

Connolly Suthers helps clients receive rightful compensation after sustaining injuries caused by medical malpractice, which may have led to physical, psychological or financial harm. Clients may file a claim for medical, rehabilitation and other relevant expenses, loss of wages, pain and suffering, and help at home if applicable.

Connolly Suthers adds that a healthcare provider or a doctor may be held liable when an act or omission of such has resulted in harm or the death of person. Although the medical professional’s insurance will typically pay for the insurance, it is rare for the insurer to cover a medical negligence claim.

Like filing a claim for workplace accidents, medical negligence claims require a time limit.

The Townsville law firm also covers compensation claims for traffic accidents, faulty products, physical assault, accidents in public places, health problems due to asbestos, sexual harassment or other types of abuse, and superannuation and insurance claims.
