Compensation Lawyers Sydney

The duration depends on the claim and the law that applies. Generally, our compensation lawyers settle our clients’ claims in 12-18 months unless they have had surgery which extends the time frame or the matter needs to proceed to court.

We would recommend you at least ask our compensation lawyers:

1. Whether you are entitled to compensation benefits or not
2. What your entitlements are regarding your injury compensation claim
3. What time limits apply for your compensation claim
4. What the costs and disbursements are for legal service
5. The estimated time it will take to settle your compensation claim

Our compensation lawyers focus on:

• Motor Vehicle Accident Claims
• Workers Compensation Claims
• Total and Permanent Disablement Claims
• Medical Negligence Claims
• Public Liability Claim

At Withstand Lawyers our clients do not pay for our costs upfront for their compensation claims. Our team of compensation lawyers also funds the disbursements required in order to obtain the evidence required and deducts its costs from our injured clients’ settlement monies only when they are successfully awarded compensation. We provide a No Win No Fee cost agreement that clearly outlines our policy along with simply understandable details. We work hard to ensure you clearly understand our costs and the legal process.

It is never too early to know where you legally stand. Our experienced compensation lawyers based in Sydney can advise you from beginning to end. Assessing your situation in certain respects is crucial before making any compensation claim. Having advice that is tailored to your specific situation, such as the seriousness of your injury, your employer’s liability, your age and whether you are an “exempt worker” will determine the extent of benefits that you may be entitled to. Our senior compensation lawyers in Sydney can guide you through the whole process of making a claim, providing critical information on what you can claim and how to claim it.

Withstand Lawyers work on a No Win No Fee basis. That means our compensation lawyers do not charge you for legal costs or disbursements if your claim is unsuccessful and you do not receive compensation benefits. That gives you confidence in situations where you might think that you have too much to lose by making a claim for compensation even when you have sustained injury as a result.

Each state has its own law, and in New South Wales different time limits apply depending on the type of claim. It is always recommended to reach an experienced compensation lawyer to get legal assistance. However, you must lodge the relevant form for motor vehicle accident claims, within 28 days. The time limit for workers compensation claims is 6 months from the date of injury. Another important time limit is commencing court proceedings which have 3 years of the time limit from the date of injury that limit may be extended in some circumstances.

Once you meet our compensation lawyers in Sydney, we will:

• Listen carefully to your situation and make sure you fully understand your entitlements and how to claim them.
• Obtain all the relevant documents required to support your claim and maximise your compensation entitlements.
• Negotiate with the other side to settle or resolve your claim for the best result whilst keeping you informed and updated.
