Your first free consultation will be with the principal of the firm Tony Separovic.
At the first consultation Tony Separovic will advise you regarding the following:
- The merits of proceeding.
- The strength of your claim.
- Estimated value of claim.
- Likely duration of claim.
- Estimated legal costs.
Your claim will be conducted by Tony Separovic. Under his supervision other members of the Separovic Injury Lawyers legal team will assist in processing your claim.
We will on your behalf commission and obtain all necessary medical reports and other evidence in order to process and successfully finalise your claim.
We will if necessary investigate the accident circumstances in order to determine fault.
If there is a dispute dealing with workers’ compensation payments Separovic Injury Lawyers will attend to preparation of all necessary documentation and will appear on your behalf at WorkCover WA.
Once your injuries have medically stabilised and final medical specialist reports have been issued the claim will be ready for settlement negotiations to take place.
The vast majority of claims are finalised by way of a negotiated settlement undertaken at settlement conferences.
Many claims are settled at either a District Court Pre-Trial Conference or at “informal” settlement conferences.
Prior to any settlement Mr Separovic will advise in particular as to an appropriate starting position for settlement negotiation purposes and a finishing/reasonable settlement figure.
All negotiations at settlement conferences will be conducted on your behalf by Mr Separovic (and in some cases an experienced injury barrister briefed by this firm).
The vast majority of claims are settled by negotiation and very few cases need to proceed to a District Court trial to be assessed by a Judge.
In the event your case has to be assessed at trial before a Judge, Separovic Injury Lawyers will be committed to delivering a successful outcome at trial and this practice has an excellent track record in claims which have proceeded to trial.
While the claim is running you will not be required to pay for any legal costs.
Separovic Injury Lawyers will on your behalf attend to payment of all medical report fees and other disbursements (unlike most other Perth law firms).
In the vast majority of motor vehicle accident; work accident and public liability claims the insurance company makes a reasonable contribution towards payment of your legal costs.
Any “gap” fee to be paid by the client is payable from settlement proceeds.
