FAQs
Are there time limits involved in lodging an application for unfair dismissal?
If you feel you have been unfairly dismissed from your employment it is important you seek urgent legal advice as strict time limits apply. If you have grounds for unfair dismissal, an application must be lodged with the Fair Work Commission WITHIN 21 days of the date of dismissal. Get in touch with our team to discuss your options and ensure that your claim meets any required deadlines.
What if I need treatment when my work injury expenses come to an end?
As an injured worker, you are entitled to income maintenance (weekly payments) for two years from the date of your first entitlement. Your income maintenance can be reduced or discontinued for various reasons during the two years, such as if you cease to be incapacitated for work or if you fully return to work. If you have been receiving weekly payments for your work injury under the Return to Work Act, your entitlement to payment of medical expenses ceases 12 months after your weekly payments.
Where should my original Will be kept?
Will is an extremely important document that should be safeguarded. If you wish to keep your Original Will in your own possession, keep it in a safe and secure place where it will not be vulnerable to possible damage or weathering. It is important that the Original Will is not marked in any way and nothing is attached to the documents. If there are staple marks or it appears pages have been added or removed, the validity of the Will may be disputed as it may appear that the Will has been altered
What does it mean if I am an executor of a Will?
When a person makes a Will, they will normally list someone close to them and who they trust to become the Executor of a Will. At times there can be more than one Executor and you may be required to act jointly. As an Executor of a Will it is your responsibility to distribute the Estate to the Beneficiaries as per the terms of the Will.
Are there time limits involved in lodging an injury claim from a motor vehicle accident?
Yes, there are time limits involved when lodging an injury claim. If you have been involved in a motor vehicle or bicycle accident, or if you have been injured as a pedestrian, you may be entitled to compensation.
