Reforms introduced by the Federal Government in 2005 have led to a general tightening of the law and consequent reduction in litigation in the area of personal injury law.
However, at Harwood Andrews Lawyers we have a long-established record of administering personal injury law matters.
Our specialist team is headed by principal Jim Rutherford, who has more than 20 years experience as a litigator.
We act in the areas of:
- motor vehicle accidents
- workplace injury
- claims comprising public liability, occupier’s liability and professional negligence
- accidents occurring overseas or during air travel
- total and permanent incapacity insurance claims
- superannuation insurance claims
We practice across all jurisdictions with the majority of claims conducted in the County Court or the Supreme Court of Victoria.
We appreciate that litigation is often lengthy and costly. For this reason we individually assess the merits of all personal injury claims and provide clients with honest and frank advice about the prospects of success of their claims.
