Litigation & Personal Injury

An accident at work or on the road can have devastating effects on your life and the lives of your family. Many people do not understand that in Queensland the law provides for compensation to be awarded to someone who has been wrongfully and negligently injured in an accident at work, in a motor vehicle or in a public place.

As one of the oldest and most respected law firms in central Queensland, Rees R & Sydney Jones has a wealth of professional experience in the field of personal injury law.

While you may hope you never need to draw on our expertise in this area, the risk of becoming injured, for example in a car accident, at work or at home, is unfortunately a real possibility.

Our lawyers will explain to you the proceedings involved in making a claim in language that is simple and easy to understand.

Many clients have fears about bringing a legal claim and the effects that such a claim may have on the retention of their job.

We will deal with these fears and concentrate on the delivery of the best possible result with the dual aim of minimal disruption to your day to day life.

Rees R & Sydney Jones are the people you should talk to. Our personal injury team can advise you on the law in general or, when the need rises, on a specific compensation claim. We examine and decide whether to take on a claim on its individual merits.

The youthful, energetic team who can offer you this comprehensive personal injury service are two of the firm’s partners Justin Houlihan and George Cowan and associate Terry Tummon. The litigation team also includes qualified lawyers, articled clerks and paralegals who specialise in personal injury litigation. George Cowan is also an accredited personal injury specialist.

Developing strong, personal relationships with our clients is what matters most to us. Our sophisticated computer system allows us to manage and review client files quickly and efficiently, leaving staff free to concentrate on your needs, whether you come to us or we travel to you. We will travel anywhere in Queensland to meet with you and discuss your claim.

We would welcome the opportunity to discuss your problem with you to see if the law can provide a satisfactory solution. We do not charge professional costs for the investigation of a claim. We are not afraid of taking on the hard cases.

The offices of Rees R & Sydney Jones are conveniently located in the centre of Rockhampton. Feel free to visit us anytime.
