SUMMARY
As a partner at Carroll & OÂ’Dea, Paul OÂ’Callaghan is dedicated to serving clients throughout the Newcastle, Australia, area, and in Sydney and Parramatta. He focuses his practice on alternative dispute resolution law, civil law, consumer law, guardianship and conservatorship law, insurance law, professional liability law, litigation, personal injury law, product liability law and torts law.
Over the course of his career, Mr. OÂ’Callaghan has provided representation to clients dealing with a number of legal issues, including those involving asbestos litigation, car accidents, legal ethics and professional responsibility, legal malpractice, Legionnaires disease, medical malpractice, negligence, railroad and train accidents, traumatic brain injuries and workersÂ’ compensation matters.
When people are injured as a result of the intentional actions, recklessness or negligence of others, the effects can be devastating for them, and their families. Such situations can lead to undue expenses, including the costs of medical treatment and care, and may inhibit the ability of victims to continue working. Mr. OÂ’Callaghan understands the challenges and unique dynamics that these types of cases can carry. For that reason, he aggressively fights to help his clients obtain the compensation they are entitled to.
For more than 40 years, Mr. OÂ’Callaghan has dedicated himself to advocating for his clients and their rights. With each case, he listens to his clientsÂ’ needs, and works closely with them to obtain positive resolutions that address their short-term and long-term needs and goals. In order to best serve his clients, Mr. OÂ’Callaghan is admitted to the High Court of Australia and the Supreme Court of New South Wales.
