The recent reform of 'tort law' in Australia has affected people’s individual rights in a myriad of different areas.

McDonald Johnson Lawyers has over 20 years experience in dispute resolution through the justice system with many of its lawyers accredited as specialists by the Law Society of New South Wales. We service the needs of Newcastle and the Hunter Valley at large, in the areas of workplace disputes (including grievance, anti-discrimination, occupational and health and safety issues, contract law) and also in a number of areas involving insurance claims.

We can help you understand the terms of an insurance policy and explain legal concepts such as exclusion clauses and disclaimers.  Your rights under an insurance policy come from the Contract of Insurance, the common law concerning insurance or from statutes and we can advise you about all of these areas so far as they concern insurance claims.

We are also members of the Australian Lawyer’s Alliance which is an association of lawyers and other professionals dedicated to the protection and promotion of justice, freedom and the rights of the individual.
