What You Can Submit
Personal injury claims handled at all stages.
From motor vehicle accidents and workplace injuries to medical negligence and public liability — submit your matter and a personal injury lawyer will assess your claim.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
CTP (Compulsory Third Party) claims, whiplash and soft tissue injuries, serious injury claims, and disputes with insurers following motor vehicle accidents.
Workplace Injuries
Work-related injuries beyond WorkCover — common law negligence claims against employers for injuries caused by unsafe workplaces or employer negligence.
Public Liability
Injuries in public places, on commercial premises, or on someone else's property — including slips, falls, and injuries caused by unsafe conditions.
Slip, Trip & Fall
Falls in supermarkets, shopping centres, footpaths, restaurants, or other premises due to hazardous conditions that the occupier failed to address.
Medical Negligence
Injuries or harm caused by negligent medical treatment — including misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication errors, and failure to obtain informed consent.
Product Liability
Injuries caused by defective or dangerous products — including consumer goods, medical devices, and industrial equipment. Claims under the ACL and common law.
Wrongful Death
Compensation claims on behalf of dependants or estates where death has been caused by another party's negligence — including dependency claims and funeral expenses.
TPD & Disability Claims
Total and permanent disability claims through superannuation and income protection policies following serious injury or illness.
Dust Disease & Asbestos Claims
Mesothelioma, asbestosis, and silicosis claims — including claims through state dust diseases authorities and the courts.
When to Act
Limitation periods can end your right to claim.
Personal injury claims are time-limited. Once the limitation period expires, you generally lose the right to bring a claim — regardless of how strong it is.
You were injured in a motor vehicle accident and need to lodge a CTP claim
Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance schemes vary by state — NSW uses the Motor Accident Injuries Act 2017, Victoria uses the Transport Accident Act 1986, and Queensland uses the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994. Most require notification within 28 days of the accident. Failing to notify in time can affect your statutory benefits, and the 3-year limitation period for common law damages claims is strictly enforced.
Your workplace injury is more serious than WorkCover covers and you may have a common law claim
WorkCover/workers compensation provides statutory benefits — weekly payments and medical expenses. But where an employer's negligence caused or contributed to the injury, a common law damages claim for pain and suffering and loss of earning capacity may also be available. These claims are separate from WorkCover and have their own limitation periods — typically 3 years from the date of injury in most states.
You received negligent medical treatment that caused serious harm
Medical negligence claims require proof that a medical practitioner breached their duty of care and that the breach caused the harm — applying the test in Rogers v Whitaker (1992). Expert medical evidence is required. Cases involving misdiagnosis, surgical errors, failure to warn of material risks, and birth injuries are among the most common. Starting early is critical — medical records can be difficult to obtain and experts take time to brief.
You were injured in a slip, trip, or fall on someone else's premises
Occupiers of land owe a duty of care to persons who enter their premises under the Civil Liability Acts in each state. To succeed in a public liability claim, you must prove the occupier knew or ought to have known of the hazard and failed to take reasonable steps to address it. Evidence — incident reports, photos, CCTV footage, and witness contact details — must be secured as soon as possible after the incident.
An insurer has made contact or offered a settlement before you have obtained legal advice
Insurers often contact injured claimants early — before the full extent of injuries is known — and make settlement offers that significantly undervalue the claim. Accepting an offer or signing a release extinguishes all future claims arising from the accident. Legal advice before any contact with an insurer — and before signing anything — ensures you are not settling for less than you are entitled to.
Someone died due to another party's negligence and family members need to claim
Wrongful death claims allow dependants to claim compensation for financial loss caused by the death, and in some states, the estate can also claim for the deceased's pain and suffering and lost earnings. Dependency claims and estate claims are governed by different legislation in each state. Limitation periods apply from the date of death, and early legal advice ensures all available claims are identified and preserved.
