Not married? You may still have the same property rights. 🏡

In Victoria, if you've been in a de facto relationship for two years or have a child together, you generally have the same access to a property settlement and spousal maintenance as a married couple. The court process is the same too.

Many people don't realise this until they separate. Time limits also apply, so get advice early.

Asbestos, silica dust, diesel and welding fumes, solvents and industrial cleaners can all cause serious illness, sometimes decades later.

WorkCover covers occupational diseases caused by exposure at work, even when symptoms take years to appear. If you've been diagnosed with a lung disease, cancer or another serious condition linked to your work, get legal advice. Never assume it's too late.

Hurt in a road accident but only now feeling the pain? 🚗

Neck pain, stiffness and headaches can show up months after an accident. If you never made a TAC claim, it may not be too late.

In Victoria, the 12-month time limit runs from the accident or from when your injury first became evident. The TAC can also choose to accept late claims up to three years after the accident.

Don't assume you've missed out. Call us and ask.

A routine procedure should never leave you with more questions than answers.

Carbone Lawyers is acting for Debra Buchanan in a medical negligence claim against Western Health, and we're calling for an independent investigation into what happened to her.

If something has gone wrong with your medical treatment, you have the right to ask questions. Talk to a team with experience in medical negligence claims.

The health and safety of healthcare workers handling hazardous substances like chemotherapy drugs is paramount. Employers have a strict legal duty to eliminate or minimise exposure risks to protect staff. When safety systems fail, workers are protected under Victorian workplace safety laws. If you have concerns about hazardous chemical exposure at your workplace, speak to our workplace injury experts at Carbone Lawyers.

Gloves in the state’s top paediatric hospital were not up to the global standard for handling the drugs.

Been on WorkCover weekly payments for a while and just getting by? Here's something a lot of people are never told: a permanent injury can also mean a separate lump-sum payment.

One conversation might change your whole year. If nobody's looked at the bigger picture for you, that's worth a call.

Motorcyclists make up just 4% of Victoria's registered vehicles, but 21% of road deaths. 🏍️

October is Motorcyclist Awareness Month, and with warmer weather bringing more riders onto our roads, it's a good time for all of us to look out for each other.

Some stats worth knowing:
➡️ More than half of rider fatalities involving another vehicle happen at intersections
➡️ Weekends account for over 40% of serious motorcycle injuries
➡️ The riskiest time of day is 2pm to 6pm

At Carbone Lawyers, we see the impact a crash can have on riders and their families. And in most cases, it could have been avoided.

Ride safe, drive aware. 💛

No win, no fee. So what does that really mean? 🤔

In Victoria, it means that if we don't win your case, you don't pay our legal fees.

But there's a catch many people don't know about. Disbursements, the out-of-pocket costs of running a claim, can still apply. At Carbone Lawyers, we cover those too in 99% of cases.

Have a question about how it works? Our team is happy to talk it through. Get Carbone on the phone today. 📞 1800 369 888 | https://www.carbonelawyers.com.au/contact/
