People who have suffered a serious injury are often unaware of their legal rights and the most appropriate course of action. Duncan Basheer Hannon is a leading Adelaide law firm involved in supporting accident victims in their time of crisis.

Expert legal advice is available to support people who have suffered personal injury, either at work, at home, in a public place or in a car accident.

Our lawyers can take steps to protect your legal rights and pursue compensation when appropriate.

The first 30-minute interview with one of our lawyers involving personal injury in a traffic accident or WorkCover claim is free – and there is no obligation.

We also operate a "no-win, no-fee" scheme in compensation matters and in other injury-related claims, fees are not paid until the case is settled. To qualify for this discounted service, certain conditions have to be met and these will be explained before work is commenced.

Motor Vehicle Accidents
Innocent victims of a motor vehicle accident may be entitled to compensation for their injuries, medical expenses and loss of income. However, claims must be made within a certain timeframe in South Australia. Our lawyers are well versed in the local laws and will ensure you receive a just outcome.

Workers Compensation
All employees and some contractors are entitled to compensation if they are injured or suffer a medical condition because of their work. Lawyers at Duncan Basheer Hannon are skilled at assessing such claims and ensuring your rights and entitlements are protected.

Public Liability
People injured in a public or private place may be entitled to compensation. There are all kinds of circumstances including slipping or tripping over, or being hit by a falling object. It is important to have your injuries professionally assessed and seek legal advice at the earliest opportunity.

Medical Negligence
Mistakes are occasionally made in modern medicine and it may be appropriate to seek compensation. Legal action is possible if it can be proved the health professional did not obtain consent for treatment, failed to diagnose an illness or injury, or provided the wrong treatment.

Personal Injury
Injuries can happen virtually anywhere and in all types of circumstances. Understanding your legal rights is important because in many instances it is possible to seek compensation for your suffering and lost income. Cases not covered in the areas already listed might include industrial negligence, sporting injuries and defective goods, which covers food poisoning.
