Claim Injury Compensation with Australia's leading lawyers

A personal injury claim is a legal claim made by an individual who has suffered general physical and/or psychological damage at the fault of another person, whether it be the driver of another motor vehicle, another individual, or the owner or manager of a public space. Making a personal injury claim is the legal pathway for the person affected to receive compensation due to what happened to them.

There are a number of steps involved in claiming compensation for personal injury.

1. Report the injury that’s been sustained or notify about the accident to the relevant authority or organisation. This would be your employer in the case of a workplace accident, or the police in the case of a traffic accident.
2. Seek the advice of your doctor and obtain medical certificates.
3. Lodge a claim with your employer or insurance company.
4. Seek legal advice from a law professional to make sure you’re aware of your rights and entitlements, as well as understanding what the next steps are and how to proceed.
5. Wait for your insurer to accept or reject your claim. This can take up to 28 days, and if your claim is rejected, a personal injury lawyer will be able to explore your other options for compensation.
6. Potentially go to court to reach a settlement. A legal professional will be able to represent you and maximise the amount of compensation you receive for your claim.
