23.01.2022 MLC Life pays AFL footballer’s $1.4 million claim MLC Life has paid a $1.4 million total and permanent disability (TPD) insurance claim to former AFL player Shaun Smith for brain damage caused by match concussions. In a statement, the insurer says it received Mr Smith’s TPD claim in April.... Following our assessment of his medical and employment circumstances we were pleased to admit his claim and make payment to his superannuation fund, the insurer said. In reaching our decision, we considered the opinions of Mr Smith’s doctors about the impact of his medical condition and ability to return to work in the future and we were satisfied that Mr Smith met the relevant definition of TPD in the insurance policy. Mr Smith, 51, who played for North Melbourne and Melbourne, told ABC News the historic payout could make people take concussion in the sport more seriously. He says his brain injury affected his moods and damaged his memory. I’m a pretty easy-going guy, and I was getting pretty angry at the drop of a hat, he told the ABC. Then I started forgetting a lot of things my short-term memory especially was not flash. It doesn’t make it much fun for people living around me. The AFL Players’ Association told insuranceNEWS.com.au it is pleased Mr Smith was able to access significant financial support through an individual insurance policy he bought many years ago. The players’ group insurance through superannuation is currently provided by Resolution Life, but players have the option to decide the best policy for their individual situation, GM Legal and Player Affairs James Gallagher said. We’re currently in the process of conducting a review of our current policy to secure the best possible group coverage for our members. #Australia #TPD #superannuationlaw https://www.pksimpson.com.au/mlc-life-pays-afl-footballers/

22.01.2022 #LetUsSpeak: Clergy abuse survivor Phil Nagle no longer gagged under Victorian laws A high-profile clergy abuse survivor, gagged from speaking out under his real name, will be able to go public again after years of campaigning for victims. A high-profile clergy abuse survivor, gagged under new laws in Victoria, is finally able to speak out again under his real name.... Phil Nagle has spent the past few decades campaigning for clergy abuse survivors and was identified in the media hundreds of times before the Victorian laws took away his right to self-identify. Mr Nagle is the first male survivor in Victoria to win the right to self-identify in media. Under the new state laws quietly introduced in February victims can no longer speak to media under their real names, in any case where the offender has been found guilty. The only exception is if they obtain a court order a process which can cost thousands of dollars. Speaking to news.com.au this morning, Mr Nagle said he had the court order sitting in front of him and couldn’t believe it. Mr Nagle said it was often underestimated how beneficial it is to have spokespeople advocating for sexual abuse survivors particularly clergy abuse survivors. If we didn't talk about it back then, what was going on in the Catholic Church, it would still be going on now, he said. I’m just very relieved, excited yes, but certainly relieved. To be gagged after all this time was incredible. Mr Nagle said other survivors of sexual abuse in Ballarat who have also been gagged under the laws, were elated for him after hearing the news. Hopefully we get some more of those other survivors over the line to self identify, he said. I’m pretty excited to be able to self-identify again, it’s a very important thing, he said. It’s such a stupid law, I couldn’t believe it came in. https://www.news.com.au///327fd59502b0d9469d038a83b8f91b7b
20.01.2022 In Australia, every medical professional owes what the law calls a ‘duty of care’. Essentially, if a person is providing medical treatment, then they are legally obliged to not cause reasonably conceivable injury or harm to their patient. If any conceivable injury is caused, then the person who provided the medical treatment may be liable due to medical negligence or malpractice. Any failure to warn a patient of the risks involved in any treatment may also constitute a breach... of their duty towards that person. If you feel you have been a victim of medical negligence please call 1300 757 467 today. #greenacre #menai #bondi #bronte #surryhillssydney #kellyville #penrith #abercrombie #cremorne #neutralbay #balmoral #mosman #baulkhamhills #bellavista #parramatta #bathurst #orange #lithgow #glenwood #zetland #ultimo #therocks #ryde #pendle #stanmore #sylvania https://www.instagram.com/p/CHZj4pSlyRh/

18.01.2022 SA fixed traffic camera system thrown into question after motorist’s successful Supreme Court appeal A decision handed down by the South Australian Supreme Court may pave the way for other motorists to appeal their red light tickets. South Australia’s fixed traffic camera system has been thrown into question after a driver successfully appealed his red light fine in the Supreme Court.... David Woolmer was booked for running a red light arrow at Beulah Park, east of the CBD, in March 2018. The Magistrates Court upheld the fine, but Justice Greg Parker overturned it on the basis that the camera had never been legally tested. In a judgment handed down last week, he said regulations required the cameras to be tested with cars crossing through the intersection on a red light. He ruled that the camera had not been checked in line with those requirements. I am satisfied on the balance of probabilities that the appellant has provided proof contrary to the facts asserted in the certificate, Justice Parker wrote. I uphold the appeal and quash the finding of the magistrate... I quash the appellant’s conviction. The decision may pave the way for other motorists to appeal their red light tickets using the same argument. When a fine is challenged in court, a Certificate of Testing and Operation can be produced to prove the legitimacy of the infringement. The lower court had accepted the police argument that it was impossible to safely conduct testing that captured cars breaking the rules. The judge said it would be possible, however some rules may need to change. I doubt the correctness of the suggestion by the respondent that it may not be possible to amend the regulations or the Australian Road Rules to authorise police to commit what would otherwise be an offence to facilitate testing of photographic detection devices, he said. Justice Parker said police might also consider expanding their testing process, or using different equipment. https://www.news.com.au///24d18a3d0eb1b8f8073b97bea1fa8669

10.01.2022 WE PAY FOR ALL MEDICAL REPORTS. YOU WON"T FIND THIS AT OTHER LAW FIRMS. What Does It Cost To See A Medical Specialist? 2/3 In the previous article we spoke about how a medical specialist can help you as an individual diagnose your injuries and how they help us build your case by providing irrefutable evidence of your injury.... What does it cost to see a Medical Specialist? Medical specialists can work within the public healthcare system or the private healthcare system. Their fees can vary on a number of things including: whether or not they work in public hospitals or privately; whether they bulk-bill under the Commonwealth Government’s Medical Benefits Scheme (MBS); private health cover payment options like gap payment or reimbursement. When Is Free To See a Medical Specialist? Professional sports players often see the best specialists because their sporting clubs will foot the bill. ADF personnel are covered by the ADF health care system. WorkCover NSW can cover costs for people who have been injured at work but only to a certain extent. It can be very stressful and financially draining recovering from an injury on the road or at work. How can PK help me with Medical Specialists? If you have a compensation claim with PK Simpson, we will pay for medical fees associated with the claim, as well as make sure you get your compensation from the insurer or superannuation fund if it’s a TPD matter. That means you don’t pay any fees until we win your case. When Do I Call PK? Chat to PK when ever you want advice about an injury and possible compensation claim.

Two people are fighting for their lives after being hit by cars while crossing the road in two separate incidents in Brisbane on Wednesday. Shortly after 4pm, a 27-year-old woman was hit by a car as she attempted to cross Stanley Street East in East Brisbane. While the driver of the vehicle was not injured, the pedestrian was transported to the Princess Alexandra Hospital with life-threatening-injuries. An hour later, police were called to Lutwyche Road, where a 26-year-old man was hit by a car as he left a hotel and crossed the road. Police said the man was attempting to cross the southbound lanes when he was struck before colliding with a second vehicle which had stopped at traffic lights. He was taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital with critical injuries. The 34-year-old male driver of the first vehicle was taken to hospital and treated for shock. Police are calling for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage of either of the areas at the time of the incidents to come forward. The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating both incidents. https://www.news.com.au///6cd2705193968f94d99798fadc516436 #Brisbane #QLD #Townsville #Cairns #GoldCoast #TweedHeads #pimpama
03.01.2022 Man rushed to hospital in serious condition after Bondi wall collapse Bystanders rushed to pull a 24-year-old man out from under a brick wall which collapsed on him at a construction site in Bondi. Erin Lyons... DECEMBER 14, 202010:22AM The young man was crushed by the wall just days after a home in the same suburb partially collapsed. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Damian ShawSource:News Corp Australia A man has been badly crushed by a brick wall at a construction site in Bondi, with bystanders rushing to free him. The 24-year-old was taken to St Vincent's Hospital in a serious condition with significant injuries to his head, chest and shoulder injuries after the wall fell on top of him, a NSW Ambulance spokesman said. The man, believed to be a construction worker, was working at the Gilgandra Road site in North Bondi when the horror incident unfolded. Paramedics were called to the scene just before 8am, and he was taken to hospital. The 23-year-old man was rushed to hospital in a serious condition. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Damian Shaw The 23-year-old man was rushed to hospital in a serious condition. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Damian ShawSource:News Corp Australia Emergency services and bystanders did a great job to free the man and safely secure the scene so that paramedics could assess and treat the patient, duty operations manager at NSW Ambulance, Kay Armstrong, said. Unfortunately he suffered quite significant injuries to his head, chest and shoulder from the falling bricks. Our crews stabilised the man before he was taken by road to St Vincent’s Hospital in a serious condition. Emergency crews were called to the scene just before 8am. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Damian Shaw Emergency crews were called to the scene just before 8am. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Damian ShawSource:News Corp Australia Just four days ago a home in Bondi partially collapsed, prompting a police rescue mission. The collapse happened at a residential building whose wall was exposed to a building site. A Fire and Rescue NSW spokesman said the building appeared to have been undermined by groundworks. It sounded like a truck full of bricks braking rapidly, I thought it was a car accident, local resident Stormy Waterford said. He was in his plant nursery shop across the street when the wall fell.
