The jury’s in, victims to receive less when injured

June 15, 2018

Canberrans motorists will need to understand the consequences of the new no-fault legislation after a Citizen’s Jury decided on major reforms to the territory’s current insurance scheme.

MEJ partner James Treloar, said that currently in the ACT, the payment of benefits relies on establishing a degree of fault, with only limited compensation for the driver who caused the motor accident.

MEJ took on my personal injury case with little fanfare and a resolution that surprised me. Hassan Ehsan is an expert in his field and extremely knowledgeable over the law. He was able to link me to one of Canberra's best barristers. Not only that but he displayed the perfect balance of objective legal advice and sympathy to my case, which was settled favourably. I am really satisfied with the team at MEJ.

Could not ask for more! From the initial meeting to full settlement, MEJ and Svetlana have exceeded expectations. Svetlana worked tirelessly to achieve a great outcome. Responsiveness to any query or concern was excellent and we were kept updated every step of the way. Could not recommend highly enough - thank you Svetlana and team.

They advertise to get in touch 24 hours after a medical mishap but when you get in contact with them they get your information and then say they are going to call you back. Been nearly 2 years now. I would advise anyone not to use this firm.

MEJ represented me following a workplace injury in the ACT that resulted in a hand injury. From our initial meeting, Svetlana took the time to listen to my story, understand the specifics of my injury, and diligently collected all the necessary documentation to construct a strong case, resulting in a favorable settlement. I highly recommend Svetlana Todoroski to anyone in need of legal assistance for personal injury claims. Thank you, Svetlana, for your exceptional service and support.

I am so incredibly grateful for the legal guidance and support from James Treloar, his amazing team at MEJ, and his recommended barrister Daniel Crowe, in the successful settlement of my motor vehicle accident compensation claim.James was absolutely perfect and everything you could ask for in a lawyer. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, responsive and has a very kind nature and a calming presence. I loved working with him because he took the time to answer all my questions, was very factual with not a hint of the stereotypical drama you can get with lawyers, and he made the process so easy. My ability to remain calm and to go through the long legal process of a compensation claim to get the best outcome was a reflection on the amazing work and professional nature of James Treloar and his team. Thank you James for an amazing outcome that has given me a fresh start - I can't thank you enough! Thank you!

Rahul Bedi and the team at MEJ, not only helped me recognise my true rights as an injured worker, but also helped me gain compensation in just under 12 months of contacting them in relation to the matter. They're very friendly, honest, helpful and supportive people, who genuinely want to see you through the darkness of a work related injury. I'm very happy I selected MEJ to represent me, and I would urge anyone with work injuries and complications from them, to see the team at MEJ, so you can find out your rights, and exercise them if need be.Thank you MEJ.Regards,JB

I consulted MEJ for advice on a work place fall & they took on the case. They won the case & I couldn't have been happier with the outcome.I had a wonderful lawyer looking after me, Mr Rahul Bedi, who I found to be a most empathetic, kind & understanding lawyer who could explain everything to me in simple English & knew exactly what was needed. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Bedi or M.E.J to anyone who was needing to seek Legal advice. Thank you again for all your hard work.

Your radio scare campaign is shameful, "if you were in an accident that wasn't your fault the new ACT laws will wreck your rights to fair compensation, call MEJ". It's not at all true. How can you broadcast such nonsense? Is the amount of business generated by such a tactic really worth it? Shame on you sir

High recommend MEJ, and Rahul Bedi in particular. Throughout my case Rahul provided supportive and informative guidance. I felt that I was in control of every decision, but not alone in making informed choices. Rahul ensured I was represented to the highest standard and the result was nothing short of outstanding - far beyond what I imagined.If I ever require the services of a legal professional again I will go directly to Rahul.
