Maurice Blackburn Lawyers Reviews 

I fell through a ceiling on 10th May 19 sustaining a shoulder injury. I
had specialist letters from the Insurers Specialist and their Professor stating that I required an operation due
to falling through the ceiling. 5 Months later no liability was accepted and I received no payments from
anyone. I kept telling my lawyer at Perth office this is not acceptable I was even told by Workers Comp that a
Form 100 should have been lodged after 3 weeks. I lodged the Form myself and had to cancel because they
were not ready. I have proof via email of this. my lawyer said that she had read my file and seen the specialist
report and she was going to lodge the Form 100, which she did. The lawyers did not respond at all. So I
called up and asked her what was going on. She told me that she had sent 2 letters asking them to accept
liability. All this time I have been in pain because no one would accept liability. With the Form 100 I could
have applied for another 3 months money. Finally conciliation was scheduled for 17th Sept 19. I had no
contact with her except for the 1st initial phone conversation to get representation from them. I spoke to her
Paralegal asking for lawyer to call me before the Conciliation. She told me that she was going to put an offer
in for approx $135,000 off the top of her head, but she also said I can tell you I have looked at your file and
can tell you now that they are not going to accept liability. She gave us no indication that she had been in
conversations with them. We asked her why they would not and she could not tell us. She said that she
would get an email together and send it to us. We then receive an email a couple of days later for a top offer
of $85,000 knowing that they would offer in the middle. We sent her an email saying that I disapprove of
the offer and wanted to go to conciliation. She then said that it was too late she had already put the offer in
we had no idea that she was communicating with them. She rung up on the Friday 3 days before
Conciliation and told me they were putting in a offer for $60.000 I told her that she was on speaker phone and my wife was listening I told d her I was not happy with this she then became aggressive and and rude. She then threatened to withdraw from representing us if we didn't do as we were told She did not want to go to conciliation I was made to go backwards and forwards until we settled on $73.500 with their cuts My wife was so nervous and anxious at the time as I had got no wages at the time and had tears in my rotator cuff and my surgeon wanted to operate I was also made to resign from my job with stipulations in place is this the way to treat people with PTSD Shame on you I did make a complaint but under my condition and the passing of my sister and stepfather I withdrew I can't believe that a lawyer working for me and used by the Australian workers Union Who at the time I was a member of can do this And not even tell me why my claim wasn't accepted I don't care if the Lpcc don't find you negligent im expecting that There will be other places to go Just because you sit there in a suit means nothing to me The truth will always come out And while a tell the truth I have nothing to fear Where there's a will there's a way They took my bottom comment away I did make a complaint to the Lpcc But bare this in mind people I had a 13 mil tear in my rotator cuff which should have been done straight away Very painful as some may know I lost my sister 2 weeks before the lawyer bullied me My step father was in a coma And my sister was struggling to get my Mum into a home with dementra all back in the UK that's why I told Lpcc I withdrew get it right guys These people in suits have got no morals just money I spent 10 years working for the Emergency Response Unit I put my self in danger to save people's life's And they think they were Fair ain't that something they fight for
