Personal Injury Lawyers in Parramatta
A personal injury lawyer helps people who have been injured due to an accident, negligence, or another occurrence that could result in a settlement.
Legal assistance can involve much more than lodging a claim. A lawyer will consider the circumstances of the injury, explain your rights, identify what type of claim is appropriate, and help you determine what evidence will be needed.
Our team can also help secure and assess medical records, deal with insurance companies, determine the financial damages, facilitate the negotiation of a resolution when necessary, and file a claim in court.
Seeking advice early can be particularly important, as different types of personal injury claims may be subject to different procedures and time limits.
Types of Personal Injury Claims We Handle
Personal injury law covers a range of circumstances, and the process for pursuing compensation can differ depending on how an injury occurred. Our team assists clients across several areas of compensation law.
Motor Vehicle Accident Claims
People injured in car, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, and other road accidents may have rights under the NSW motor accident compensation system. We can assist with understanding the claims process, medical evidence, communication with insurers, and the losses associated with an accident.
Work Injury and Workers Compensation
A workplace injury may result in time away from employment, treatment expenses, and ongoing restrictions on your ability to work. We can assist injured workers in understanding their legal position and the compensation options that may apply to their circumstances.
Public Liability Claims
Public liability claims can arise when someone is injured at a shopping centre, public space, entertainment venue, or any other premises. Determining if compensation is available may require evidence regarding the manner in which the incident occurred, and who was responsible for the property or area involved.
Medical Negligence
Medical negligence claims can arise when there may have been a breach of duty of care. Assessing whether the standard of care provided was reasonable can be complicated and may involve extensive medical documentation with these claims.
Superannuation and TPD Claims
Depending on the terms of a superannuation or insurance policy, a person who is unable to continue working because of injury or illness may be entitled to make a Total and Permanent Disability claim.
Sexual, Physical, and Institutional Abuse Claims
Survivors of sexual, physical or institutional abuse may have legal options for seeking compensation. These matters require careful, sensitive, and confidential legal assistance that takes account of the individual circumstances involved.
What Compensation Can You Claim for a Personal Injury?
The compensation that may be available depends on the type of claim, the circumstances of the injury, and the losses that can be established.
Depending on the applicable law and the individual matter, compensation may take account of losses such as:
- Past and future medical and treatment expenses
- Rehabilitation expenses
- Past loss of income
- Future loss of earning capacity
- Care and assistance required because of the injury
- Certain out-of-pocket expenses
- Non-economic loss where applicable
Not every category of compensation is available in every personal injury matter. An assessment of the circumstances, supporting evidence, and applicable legislation is required before the potential value of a claim can be properly considered.
Our personal injury lawyers in Parramatta can review the impact an injury has had on your life and explain which types of loss may be relevant to your particular claim.
Why Do You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Personal injury claims can involve legislation, medical evidence, insurers, procedural requirements, and strict deadlines. Having legal assistance can help you understand both your rights and the practical steps required to progress a claim.
Our personal injury lawyers can assist with:
