In addition to compensation claims that arise out of motor vehicle accidents (see heading Motor Vehicle Accident Law below) there are many other types of accidents that may entitle you to compensation.

It is very important that you get early advice from a lawyer as to your rights for compensation relating to loss of earnings, medical expenses and related expenses both future and in the past. You may also be able to claim for care that others have provided to you and care that you have been unable to provide to others.
If your accident is a serious accident you may be able to gain compensation for pain and suffering for physical or psychological injury, or both.
If you have a possible right to compensation it is important that evidence is collected early to make sure that it is not lost. This may include locating witnesses, taking statements and obtaining photographs of the accident site amongst other things.
It is also important to gather other material such as medical reports and information relating to other losses that you may have incurred including loss of earnings.
It is important to remember that in most cases we are dealing with insurance companies and it is therefore important that you have proper legal advice so that you can affectively prosecute your claim.
We realise that in most situations people making claims for compensation do not have sufficient money to pay for their legal costs and we are therefore happy to undertake many matters on a “no win no fee” basis on a continuing basis and initially we would make appropriate enquiries without obligation. We do not undertake workers compensation claims on a “no win no fee” basis but will seek legal funding through the workers compensation review office for you to undertake such claims.
There are important time limits that relate to claiming compensation relating to public liability and also in relation to permanent disability claims under insurance policies and in most situations relating to superannuation fund policies.
It is also important that you understand the complicated situation relating to Centrelink payments that are received from the date of the accident until settlement of any compensation claim.
There are other claims that might arise out of an insurance policy that insures you for total and permanent disability. Sometimes these policies form part of your superannuation fund.
Do not hesitate to make an appointment with us with no obligation so that if you decide not to use our services after the first consultation there will be no charge.

We are happy to undertake most motor vehicle accident claims on a “no win no fee” basis and we can explain this to you in detail. Essentially it means that you do not pay for our professional fees unless your case is successful.
