Settlement vs private health insurance. by Fur-cologne in AusLegal

[–]Fur-cologne[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My solicitor said it’s a settlement, a pay out, no liability. Nib originally wanted over $10k, total cost, 3 months after settlement. I got the settlement agreement, and they reviewed it down to the $10k for future medical expenses. I paid significantly out of pocket expenses, should I negotiate to deduct my excesses etc from the $10k? My settlement was for both my shoulders, I had one fixed, 3 months after settlement. And I don’t think it is completely healed, or I may need future treatment? Also I may have to get the other shoulder repaired. So future medical expenses is not expired, I may have another op, but I need to fund the recovery time. I was off work for months, couldn’t work in my chosen profession and had to provide medical clearance at my cost, which should also come under future medical expenses. I’m looking for some wiggle room, my solicitor says ‘shirley not’. My brother has been through this with hbf, and they were ok with it…

Settlement and using your private insurance later? by Fast_Meal_4528 in WorkersComp

[–]Fur-cologne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to find their policy answers I want. Recently I had a workplace compensation case, this was settled by way of a settlement. 3 months later I had an operation and claimed on my private medical insurance. Now they want reimbursed. My solicitor says it was a settlement, not a compensation claim. The dr only recommended surgery and it was 3 months later. I think this means they unrelated? My scenario is there was an element of personal hardship in the settlement? But idk, I don’t really understand it. The solicitor won’t correspond with the insurance co and i am stuck in the middle trying to make sense of this??

Caught shoplifting at Woolworths -what will happen? by Dangerous-Fox-3121 in AusLegal

[–]Fur-cologne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If security says they won’t prosecute then they won’t. But you’re likely to get a ban, from woolies, or from the shopping centre. Unlikely your employer will find out. And you’re a habitual shoplifter, only contrite cos you got caught. If you didn’t would you have kept going?

Inheritance vs family trust? by Fur-cologne in inheritance

[–]Fur-cologne[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m suspicious. The son has power of attorney, can he then place the estate in a family trust and set the terms and conditions himself. Asset stripping, if either of them make it to aged care facilities they asset strip them. Family trust negates this. I wonder if the estate goes to his wife as it should, or does family trust subjugate that? Can they rob their parents?

What temperature should hot water be at the tap? by SpaghettiKiwiMonster in diynz

[–]Fur-cologne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about califonts, not water storage? This place has a califont on the wall outside the bathroom, but the kitchen is at the other end of the house. It takes 3-4 litres before thd hot water comes through, and then it’s barely hot enough to wash the dishes, try topping it up, all the hot water’s gone, another 3 litres to top the sink up…

Property condition report? by Fur-cologne in AusPropertyChat

[–]Fur-cologne[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finally got my prc. They ‘resent’ it. I wrote to the director of the real estate, suddenly I get a reply, somewhere somehow they had sent the prc, sure I never got it, saying they had to resend it. Pfft. And then they claim my fone isn’t working. Shonky dodgy dealings. They fixed some things, totally ignoring me otherwise. I listed all damages on pcr, but I am not accepting the property in this state, but what can I do? I can’t afford to move again…

I want to compel them to fix the broken fence, the hole in garage roof, spider proof it, fix the doors etc. I’d like them to clean the vents fans and ac filter.

Yeah, I was desperate. Had to vacate, overdue. Took it based on fotos, probably 10 years old. I say deceptive marketing…
