Why Rod Glover Legal is Different for Personal Injury Claims Lawyers in Launceston

This is a small firm. When you call, you speak with Rod. When you come to our office at 29 Paterson Street, Launceston, you sit across from Rod. He handles your file from start to finish. Rod appears regularly in the Workers' Compensation Appeal Tribunal (WCAT) and the Supreme Court of Tasmania. He knows the MAIB system, WorkCover TAS, and how to push for results across northern Tasmania and the whole state. 

Motor Vehicle Accidents (MAIB)

If you were hurt in a car, motorbike, or as a pedestrian in a vehicle accident in Tasmania, MAIB (Motor Accidents Insurance Board) may cover your medical costs and lost wages. Rod handles MAIB claims daily, from the first notification of injury through to final settlement. He makes sure MAIB meets its obligations to you. When you hire this practice, you get direct access to the principal lawyer, not a claims handler in Hobart or Melbourne.

Workers Compensation (WRAC Act 1988, WorkCover TAS, WCAT)

Injured at work? The Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 (Tas) is the law that governs your rights. WorkCover TAS oversees the system. If your claim is disputed or your weekly payments stop, Rod represents you before the WCAT. He does not back down. He fights for you in Launceston and regionally. This team has a strong track record in northern Tasmania because Rod appears in person every time.

Public Liability (Slip and Fall, Property Owner Negligence)

You slip on a wet floor in a Launceston shop. You trip on a broken footpath outside a hotel. A property owner fails to fix a known hazard, and you break a bone. Public liability law holds negligent owners and occupiers responsible. Rod investigates the scene, finds the property owner, and builds your compensation claim. 

Victims of Crime Compensation

If you have suffered physical or psychological injury due to a violent crime in Tasmania, you may be eligible for compensation through the State’s Victims of Crime Assistance Scheme. Rod handles these claims with care and discretion. You do not need a conviction. You just need to have reported the incident and need help. This is a sensitive area, and Rod treats every client with dignity.

Each of these four areas is handled locally, personally, and with the knowledge of compensation claims lawyers who have spent years in Tasmanian courts and tribunals. That is the value of using personal injury claims lawyers who live and work in your community.

Why You Must Act Promptly

Under the Limitation Act 1974 (Tas), you generally have three years from the date of injury to start court proceedings. But for MAIB and workers' compensation claims, the time limits can be much shorter, with strict notice periods and internal review deadlines. If you miss a deadline, you can lose your right to claim entirely. That is not said to scare you. It is said so you do not get caught out. Act now. The right accident lawyers will immediately check your deadlines for you.
