WNB Legal

Kari Clar Hilton, or "KC", is the principal solicitor and company director of WNB Legal Pty Ltd. KC has been practising law in a variety of fields over the past 10+ years with clients in Coffs Harbour, Grafton and the Woolgoolga & Northern Beaches area, most notably working together with Michael Fishburn, a former Workers Compensation Commission Arbitrator, acting for injured clients in personal injury and workers compensation matters.

If you have been injured in an accident, through no fault of your own, we understand that it can be difficult to navigate through what can be a confusing claims process. We can assist you with all aspects of your personal injury matter from completing the initial claim form to a dispute over liability with the relevant insurer and if applicable, settlement negotiations or court proceedings.

Have you been injured at work while working with a Commonwealth employer or other employer covered under the Comcare workers compensation scheme? Would you like to dispute a reviewable decision made by the workers compensation insurer in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal?

Commonwealth workers compensation entitlements and the requirements for seeking a review of a determination made by an insurer are often complex and difficult to navigate so unfair decisions made by insurers are too often left unchallenged by injured workers.

If you have sustained severe injuries at work due to your employer's negligence, you may be entitled to make a work injury damages claim for the past and future loss of income that you have sustained. There are eligibility requirements that need to be met and time frames that apply to making these sorts of claims so it is important to obtain legal advice at any early stage if you intend to make this type of claim.

Unfortunately, sometimes people do not get the level of medical or other professional care that they expect. Injuries can sometimes occur during surgical or other procedures or as a result of poor initial or follow up treatment.

If you believe that you have sustained an injury or an aggravation of your condition as a result of the actions of a treatment provider, we can provide you with advice and assistance in relation to a potential claim for compensation for the damages you have sustained, whether it's the need for additional surgeries or other treatment expenses, loss in income and employment prospects, care and assistance with your usual activities, or general damages.
