"I'd like legal advice, but I can't afford a lawyer."

It's one of the most common concerns we hear from people who have been injured.

That's why we offer No Win, No Fee arrangements for eligible personal injury claims.

This means you can obtain legal advice and pursue your claim without paying upfront legal fees.

If you've been injured in a transport accident, workplace incident or another compensable event, don't let concerns about legal costs stop you from finding out where you stand.

"I thought it was just old age."

It's something we hear often from people who have developed work-related hearing loss.

What many don't realise is that a specialised hearing assessment can help determine whether hearing loss is linked to years of workplace noise exposure rather than age alone.

If you've spent years working around loud machinery, tools, vehicles or equipment, you may be surprised by what a hearing test reveals.

And if your hearing loss is found to be work-related, you may be entitled to compensation.

If you're unsure whether your hearing loss was caused by your work, seeking advice could be the first step. Visit our Hearing Loss page on our website for more information https://birdeye.cx/t70nk3

When a pedestrian is hit by a vehicle, the consequences can be life-changing.

Unlike drivers and passengers, pedestrians have no seatbelts, airbags or protective barriers between themselves and a moving vehicle.
As a result, pedestrian accidents often lead to serious injuries such as fractures, brain injuries, spinal injuries and ongoing pain that can affect every aspect of daily life.

While the TAC can provide treatment and income support, some injured pedestrians may also be entitled to substantial lump sum compensation for the long-term impact of their injuries.

If you've been seriously injured as a pedestrian, understanding your rights could make a significant difference to your future.

🚗 How safe are our streets as our vehicles get bigger?

New reporting from ABC News highlights research examining the relationship between larger vehicles and pedestrian injury outcomes.

Regardless of what we drive, driver awareness and pedestrian safety all play a role in preventing serious injuries.

As lawyers handling TAC claims, we have acted in many serious cases involving pedestrian fatalities and serious injuries.

It has been a privilege to represent Susan in this proceeding.

Susan first fought for her life, and then, with remarkable courage, dignity and stoicism, fought for her rights.

It has been an honour for Fortitude Legal to stand beside such an extraordinarily brave woman throughout that journey.

A woman who was savagely mauled by dogs on a dark country road has been awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages against the animals’ owners. Details 👉 https://bit.ly/4gfsa6b

🔍 Did you know thoracic spine injuries are often overlooked in compensation claims?

Mid-back injuries may be less common than neck or lower back injuries, but they can have a significant impact on breathing, movement, work capacity and quality of life.

As Fiona Goodie, Senior Associate, explains in our latest article:

"Thoracic spine injuries are often underestimated early—but can have lasting consequences."

If you've suffered a thoracic spine injury in a transport accident, workplace incident or public liability claim, understanding your rights is critical.
