In Tweed Heads and the Northern Rivers, we frequently handle personal injury claims resulting from:

• Tourism and hospitality workplace injuries, particularly in high-traffic areas like the beaches of Cabarita, Kingscliff, and Byron Bay
• Coastal workplace accidents, common in industries such as construction, fishing, and marine services, particularly along the Tweed Coast and surrounding waterfront areas
• Vehicle incidents on coastal and border routes, including accidents on major roads like the Pacific Highway and the Gold Coast Highway, which are heavily trafficked and subject to challenging conditions, especially during peak tourist seasons
• Cross-border employment-related incidents, with many workers commuting across the NSW-Queensland border, leading to complex claims involving different workers’ compensation and legal frameworks
• Public liability claims in diverse environments, from popular tourist spots like Fingal Head and Tweed Heads to local shopping centres and recreational parks
• Medical negligence in local healthcare facilities, including the Tweed Heads Hospital and surrounding clinics, where errors in medical care can result in serious consequences for patients.

With our local knowledge and a proven track record in handling these types of claims, we provide you with a distinct advantage in securing the compensation you deserve.
