our expertise
time Many types of personal injury claims, including claims for work injuries and road accident injuries, are subject to time limits. Fortunately, asbestos and dust disease compensation claims and institutional abuse claims are no longer subject to time limits. Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) claims are also free of time limits. In those cases where time limits apply, such as in road accident and work injury cases, the expiry of time limits can have serious consequences and you should not delay in seeking legal advice about protecting your rights.
But even where a time limit has expired, an extension of time may be available, so if you think your claim may be out of time, you should still seek advice from one of our experts.limits

LEESA BLACK | SOLICITOR
“After several months of battling my insurance company I attempted to seek out legal advice to assist with a TPD claim that I was making zero progress with. It was incredibly stressful and I had no idea what I was doing. From the first conversation I had with Greg he started actioning my claim and met with me for a thorough discussion. He treated me like I was his number one priority from the beginning and that didn’t change through the whole process.. The peace of mind that came with having someone so knowledgeable on my side that dealt with all the correspondence was incredibly relieving. Greg and his team are worth their weight in gold! I couldn’t recommend them highly enough! Thank you Greg – we are eternally grateful for what you’ve done for us.”
“Leesa/Greg – My family and I can’t thank you both enough for the result you have been able to achieve for dad”
“Thanks once again you went above and beyond for me. I’m so incredibly happy and grateful for the outcome you got for me”
“It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with Zach from the very start of my claims. Without his help I would not have been successful in these claims. He was with me every step of the way.”
“Thank you doesn’t even come close to the way I wish to repay you John for all you’ve done for me and my family.”
“Many thanks again to Greg, Leesa and the rest of your team at vbr Lawyers. I feel a great sense of relief the case has been resolved and know I can now finally put the accident behind me and move forward — Great service from start to finish”
“I want to thank John Vandeleur for helping me with my claim, he changed my “Walk in the Dark” to a “Walk in the Park” because for anyone it is an anxious journey. John has a good handshake, direct eye contact...and a man of his WORD!” GH
Our caring, hands-on approach and the fact that we always put our clients first when it comes to charging legal fees has led to many referrals of new clients by past clients, health care professionals, community leaders and others. Referrals are important to us and referrers are highly valued members of vbr Lawyers’ community. If you refer a contact, a friend or a loved one to vbr lawyers you can be secure in the knowledge that the claim will be in the safest of hands and conducted from beginning to end at the highest professional standards.
While our clients see a lot of our lawyers, often they don’t see much of our office. That’s because we won’t hesitate to visit our clients wherever they are, whenever the need arises, particularly where a client’s mobility is limited by illness or injury.
There are few places we have not been and will not go to provide a service to our clients, so whether you are around the corner or interstate, don’t hesitate to request a visit from one of our expert lawyers if that is most convenient for you.
