Longton Compensation Lawyers | Formerly Known As TK Legal

Cameron Tout is Special Counsel in the Personal Injury team in Melbourne, Victoria. He is also an Accredited Specialist in Personal Injury Law with the Law Institute of Victoria.

Cameron was admitted to practice in both the Supreme Court of Victoria and High Court of Australia in 2007. He has advocated exclusively for people injured in work, road and public place accidents throughout his career.

He commenced his career at a small firm in Footscray, Victoria and then worked for ten years at the then largest Plaintiff law firm in Australia. During that time, he acted predominantly for people injured at work and for five years operated that firm’s Warrnambool practice. Cameron spent the last four years before joining Longton Compensation Lawyers leading teams at another large, publicly listed law firm, handling complex litigation in the areas of Workers Compensation and Public Liability. Immediately prior to joining Longton Compensation Lawyers, he led the Victorian Public Liability and Social Justice practice.

In 2018 and again in 2019, Cameron was recognised by Doyle’s Guide as one of Victoria’s Leading Plaintiff Work Injury Compensation Lawyers.

Cameron has successfully advocated for legislative change on behalf of victims of what is commonly called “historic forced adoption practices”. His written submissions and evidence given to the Legislative Assembly Committee’s Inquiry into Responses to Historical Forced Adoptions in Victoria led to the Victorian State Government supporting the removal of the Statute of Limitations and Significant Injury Threshold.

Cameron has made numerous media appearances to raise awareness of and advocate for his clients and the circumstances that have led to life-altering injuries. He has also appeared on several podcasts and given professional development seminars about compensation law and his work assisting injured people.

Dedicated to social justice values, Cameron is dedicated to achieving outstanding results for his clients whilst ensuring that they understand the benefits and challenges of the compensation schemes they find themselves beholden to.
