Compensation Lawyers Australia

Why Segelov Taylor?

Segelov Taylor Lawyers was established by Tanya Segelov and David Taylor in 2016. They left a larger firm to set up their own firm focused on providing high quality legal services in specialist areas.

The owners of the firm, David and Tanya, will handle your matter. They are both very experienced lawyers, with 20 years experience in complex litigation.

Unlike larger firms, our matters are not handled by call centres, paralegals and junior lawyers.

Your matter will be dealt with by them from start to finish meaning you can be assured that every stage of the process will be handled with care and expertise.

We are not generalist lawyers. We specialise in a small number of areas of work and are expert in those areas.

We provide very high quality legal services in the areas we work in.

We only accept instruction in matters in the right matters. As a specialist firm, saying no to matters where we do not believe we are the right lawyers for the client (and have the capacity to do the work) is as important as the matters we select to take on. We focus on the work in which we specialise.

David and Tanya have the ability to decide what cases to take and when so that your matter remains a priority.

We act on a no win, no fee basis in the following matters:

all mesothelioma, asbestos, silica and dust disease claims;
all personal injury claims;
when we act for a person challenging a will;
in institutional and sexual abuse matters.

If we act for you on a ‘No win, no fee’ basis we will only recover our costs in the event of a successful claim. Unlike most firms we will pay all disbursements incurred in the preparation and litigation of your matter.

In other types of matters we act on a variety of basis, including payment at the conclusion of the claim, or on a partial no win, no fee basis. Information about out fee policies for different types of work is set out below. For more information about our fees, see our Fee Policy Page

Because we don’t have large overheads, big offices or expensive marketing campaigns we are able to provide high quality legal services are a more reasonable price than other firms.

FREE Case Assessment

We offer a free initial case assessment.

We will obtain preliminary instructions from you and advise you whether we believe we are able to assist you in your matter. If we believe me may be able to assist you we will discuss with you the the process, the terms of which we can act (including the likely costs) and the value of the claim. The case assessment may be by phone, or in person. There is no cost associated with this case assessment, nor any obligation to instruct is in your matter.

You can contact Tanya Segelov, or David Taylor directly, or contact our office by phone, email or the web-chat to arrange your free case assessment.

When my husband was diagnosed with mesothelioma in March last year, we were shocked.

He then told me that the places he worked as a young plumbing apprentice over 40 years ago were surrounded by an asbestos environment. There were many companies he worked for at that time that had absolutely no protection for inhaling & being covered in asbestos.

After a few months of discussion, we decided that this may be worth investigating for compensation. We currently live in New Zealand and had no idea who to contact in Sydney. I googled and found Segelov Taylor Lawyers.

We were so delighted that Tanya Segelov took up our case and advised us that our case was strong. Tanya was able to find the insurance company from one on the firms that my husband had worked for 40 years ago.

Due to extensive work and investigation by Tanya, in March, my husband received amazing compensation. Although the prognosis is not great, his compensation makes up for all the worry and expense that is related to his condition and we are absolutely thrilled with the outcome with grateful thanks to Tanya.

Hello David,

Thank you again for helping me through this challenging time and for delivering the best possible outcome on my behalf. I am grateful for your support, professionalism and excellent advice throughout.

This has been a very difficult time for my family and it has helped immensely to have your guidance throughout this process. Without your assistance, we would certainly be in a more precarious situation.

Most of all, thank you for your caring approach.

Kind Regards,

There are not enough superlatives to describe the brilliant representation provided by David Taylor at Segelov Taylor.

David recently helped me achieve a fair and just outcome for my termination of employment matter. His wise counsel and expert advice guided me through a difficult process of negotiation with my former employer. David’s easy to deal with, friendly, practical and down to earth and importantly kept his costs to a minimum.

David’s great legal skills as well as the right amount of feistiness got me a fantastic result! I thoroughly recommend Segelov Taylor for anyone who’s seeking a compassionate and expert advocate to redress an unfair employment situation.

Tanya and her colleagues have done so much to get me through this awful sad time, but happy with the outcome. I would highly recommend Segelov Taylor Lawyers to anyone in need of a sound lawyer

I am a client of the Law Firm, SEGELOV TAYLOR and I am impressed by the professionalism shown by that firm, as they recently represented me in an action relating to a claim for workers’ compensation.

I am extremely satisfied with their attention to detail, regular feedback and prompt response to questions that I put to them.

Tanya (who acted for me in this case), was extremely helpful in all aspects of the proceedings, and patient with me if I was unsure of a certain point.

SEGELOV TAYLOR achieved an extremely satisfactory outcome for me.

I would be pleased to recommend SEGELOV TAYLOR to any prospective client.

Segelov Taylor client Tony Biddle speaks about making a claim.

At a devastating time in my life I met Tanya Segelov. My husband had just been diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma.

My husband and I both understood the need of a solicitor who understood the nature of the disease and legislation of the NSW government and the departments involved in this process.

Luckily I noticed an article in the daily telegraph reporting the story of a woman’s fight for justice and triumph for her husband who had suffered from a work related asbestos disease. Tanya Segelov was her solicitor.

I rang Segelov Taylor and advised how ill my husband was. Tanya visited him next day at home and clearly explained all rights we were entitled too. Plus the procedures involved with government and the Dust Disease Board. Unfortunately nearly all of Tanya’s business relations were involved in a hospital situation with my husband. Sympathy, compassion and professional integrity were displayed by Tanya and her staff at all times.

My husband passed away only six weeks after diagnosis. Through this terrible time Tanya never shirked her duty of care to me and obtained excellent outcomes for my family and I.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Tanya Segelov and her team to anyone with a dust related illness as I truly do not know how I would have coped without her knowledge, compassion and assistance.

S.B.

I approached David to help me with an extremely stressful and difficult situation at work. David provided professional advice and guidance and I was glad he was there to reassure me in my time of need. It was great having him in my corner and a great outcome too, I would highly recommend Segelov Taylor Lawyers.

I wish to express my appreciation for the assistance and support that was provided by your firm in settling my recent claim.

I was very impressed at our first meeting with the time taken to explain the process. This allowed me to submit my version of events, freely and without any form of prompting.

I would like to mention a special thank you to Kristy-Lee for the ongoing support that she provided in keeping me updated on how the case was proceeding and for the provision of relevant correspondence.

I am very pleased with the outcome and have no hesitation in referring others to your firm, for support in your areas of expertise.

I also intend visiting the online site to express my gratitude.

Thank you once again and I hope your firm has ongoing success in the support provided to clients.

Dear Tanya
RE SEGELOV TAYLOR LAWYERS– DUST DISEASES CLAIM FOR MESOTHELIOMA
I just want to thank you very much for representing Serge in his Dust Diseases Claim. Although this journey isn‘t a very happy one, we very much appreciate your guidance during the course of the claim.
We were very impressed with the way you handled the case from the very beginning when everything was very raw and we were still in shock and disbelief that he had been diagnosed with Mesothelioma. As he was still recovering from an operation, your home visits made our appointments with you so much easier.
Serge is very happy with the outcome and settlement of the claim and also wanted to pass on his thanks.
We would definitely recommend Segelov Taylor Lawyers to anyone who needed your expertise in the areas that you practice.
Once again, many thanks
