There are moments in life that are just unfair, but when something goes terribly wrong you will need to find the right expert compensation solicitor Sydney has to offer, and CMC Lawyers will have the expert you need. If you have a compensation claim you will need to act quickly as there are legal time restrictions in making a compensation claim application. The sooner you act the sooner your solicitor will be able to get your case moving, as although there are time restrictions for commencing a claim, some claims can take years to finalise due to their complexity.
CMC Lawyers offers a range of compensation fields of law in which their teams of lawyers practice. These include claims for public liability (commonly known as the ?slip and fall?); medical negligence; motor vehicle accidents; and workplace incidents. The laws for the various tort actions are complex and different from each other. It is vital that you retain a lawyer with the knowledge and expertise in the field of law applicable to your circumstances.

Public Liability Compensation
Public liability compensation claims occur when a person has had an accident and been injured or property has been damaged, and the incident occurred in a public place. An example of a public liability case is the common ?slip and fall? in a shopping centre, where a person may slip on the floor, fall and injure their back or hip and require medical assistance. Another example is where a person is injured in their own home due to faulty workmanship, such as a person is electrocuted due to faulty wiring.
Medical Negligence Claims
If something has gone wrong during a medical operation, for example, tweezers were left inside you which caused you further pain and infection, then you may be able to claim compensation against the surgeon and possibly the hospital. This is an extremely complex area of law and one that will be fiercely defended by the respondents (surgeon / hospital / insurance companies). In a case like this CMC Lawyers will involve a team of lawyers to ensure your case is given the best possible chance of succeeding. In the example given above, it may be a straight forward case as an x-ray can prove there were tweezers left inside, but in other cases the negligence may not be as straight forward which is why you need to retain experts.
Motor Vehicle Compensation Claims
This is one of the most common forms of claim for compensation. Car accidents unfortunately happen every day and if you are reading this, you may just be one of the unfortunate ones that the accident has happened to. Your injuries will be documented throughout the entire process including your recovery. You will need to keep an injury diary setting out pains you have and even things that you now do differently, such as being afraid to hop in a car so you take the bus everywhere or you are always forgetting where you put things. The time a claim may take may depend upon your recovery time from the injuries. Your lawyer will be able to explain all of these issues to you.
WorkCover and Worker’s Compensation
One thing you never think will happen is an injury at work. All workplaces must follow and adhere to strict workplace health and safety laws and workers and employers have a duty of responsibility to know and understand the workplace health and safety codes of conduct for their workplace. But, accidents do happen. If an accident does happen at work, you may be entitled to claim WorkCover compensation which will assist you during your recovery process. Again, this is a complex area of law where duties of care will be intrinsically examined, as will your conduct and the conduct of your employer.
All compensation claims involve an evaluation of the evidence, this includes such things as how the incident occurred, the injuries received, the length of recovery, the time a person needed to be cared for and did the carer give up their work to look after the person, duties of care, and so on. In a number of circumstances these issues may be clear and the case will not proceed to trial but instead be negotiated in a satisfactory settlement for all parties. However, there are times when a case will go to trial before a judge or judge and jury, and in these circumstances you will need a highly qualified expert leading the way.
