IVF mistakes, what can happen when errors are made, and what patients and families can do if they are not getting the answers they need.

These can be sensitive and challenging situations.

In this conversation, Danielle Snell and Nicole Russell discuss how some errors can have devastating consequences for mothers, fathers, children born through IVF, and others involved in the process.

The discussion is a reminder that IVF clinics owe a duty of care to their patients.

If something does not feel right, it is important to get legal advice before making decisions.

In what can be a difficult time, legal support can help you understand what questions to ask, and what steps may be available to you.

The answers were surprisingly revealing.

Some people know exactly what they order. Every time. No hesitation.

Others are more…in the moment - ordering based on the kind of day they are having.

This couple came to us after facing lengthy delays and a low rectification offer from their insurer.

They asked us to help.

We helped them understand the situation, their rights, options, and how to move their insurance claim forward.

Then within a short period of time, they received the great news of a higher cash settlement offer.

When we received this message from them, it meant a lot to our team.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful message - we really appreciate your words.

What do you do when your insurance claim is for $850,000…

But then the insurer's expert comes back with an estimate that is well below that.
Many people assume the insurer's first assessment is final.

This isn't always the case.

In some cases, there can be dispute about how damage is assessed, the scope of works, or the cost of repairing or rebuilding the property.

In this video, Rob explains why a thorough, independent expert assessment can make a significant difference to policy holders in the right circumstances.

Imagine this.

A loved one had been unwell before they passed away.

After their death, you learn that their Will was changed only weeks earlier.
The changes are significant. Beneficiaries have been added or removed. Someone new has been appointed as executor.

Your first thought is often:

"Is this even possible?"

The answer is yes.

But that doesn't mean all late changes to a Will are valid.

Questions might arise about whether the person had the legal capacity to make those changes.

Whether they understood what they were signing, or whether they were influenced by someone else.

The important thing is not to jump to conclusions but also not to dismiss your concerns if something doesn't feel right.

Before assuming the Will is final, seek legal advice.

Sometimes the most important step is simply understanding how those changes came to be.

We spend a lot of time working together as a team.

But how well do we really know the people we work with?

Some answers surprised us….here’s what we learned.
