SUMMARY
As a solicitor at Carroll & OÂ’Dea, Peter Hansen provides dedicated legal representation to clients in Parramatta, Australia, and throughout the surrounding area. He focuses his practice on the following areas: personal injury law, product liability law, insurance law and professional liability law. Mr. Hansen generally handles cases that involve matters, such as car accidents, medical malpractice, workersÂ’ compensation, legal malpractice and negligence. He speaks English and Vietnamese.
When workers are injured on-the-job, it can have a devastating impact on them, and their families. Mr. Hansen understands the challenges that can arise as a result of work-related injuries. For that reason, he aggressively advocates on behalf of his clients, and their rights, and strives to help them obtain the compensation they are entitled to. Mr. Hansen takes a personalized approach with each case, and listens to his clientsÂ’ needs, so he is able to help them achieve resolutions that address their short-term and long-term goals.
With more than 30 years of experience, Mr. Hansen has handled cases in state and federal jurisdictions, and has represented clients before the Dust Diseases Tribunal, the District Court, the Federal Administrative Appeals Tribunal, the Supreme Court and the Workers Compensation Tribunal. In his current practice, he draws on the valuable experience he gained as volunteering in refugee camps in the Philippines and Hong Kong as a human rights lawyer.
Giving back to the community and education are priorities for Mr. Hansen. He regularly volunteers his legal services to refugees, taking on pro bono work. Previously, Mr. Hansen was a university lecturer, and worked in the trade union movement, family counseling and drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
