What common claims do you handle?
Our senior compensation lawyers have assisted injured workers by helping them claim workers compensation for injuries sustained, regardless of fault, in the course of employment by way of weekly payments, medical expenses and lump sum. Workers compensation is payable regardless whether your injury was in Sydney, Wollongong, Central Cost, Port Macquarie. That is because the law is the same wherever you are injured as long as it is in New South Wales. Working with a senior workers compensation lawyer will help you understand your entitlements, get the maximum compensation payable and provide you with the best advice.
Motor Accident Injury Claim
Being injured in a motor vehicle accident can limit your daily and working life and may cause financial hardship for the rest of your life. You may be entitled to get compensation for medical expenses, economic loss and pain and suffering after being injured in a motor accident. That is regardless whether the accident was caused whilst as a pedestrian or on a motor bike, bicycle or whether you were a passenger or driver in a truck or forklift. Our experienced motor accident compensation lawyers can assist you to maximise your compensation payout for you to continue your life knowing that you have received the best advice and maximum compensation amount payable for your claim.
Total and Permanent Disability Compensation Lawyers
Unable to work due to injury or illness regardless of the cause? You may be eligible to receive a lump sum payment under your Total and Permanent Disablement (TPD) superannuation policy. Unfortunately a lot of people are not aware of that entitlement within their superannuation policy. Whilst the amounts can be significantly less or significantly more, the usual amount one receives from a successful TPD claim is anywhere between $35,000 , $350,000. This is payable, depending on the policy, when you can establish that you are unable to work in your usual or any other occupation. Our experienced compensation lawyers based in Sydney can assist you to get the maximum possible TPD claim payout.
Public Liability Compensation Lawyers
You are entitled to claim compensation for your injuries whether you slip in a public or private property or whether your injury was as a result of the public or property owners negligence. You can get compensated with a compensation for your injuries. Our compensation lawyers can tell you where you stand and advise you clearly on the whole process to take care of your claim. Withstand Lawyers works on No Win No Fee basis, meaning that you do not pay for our legal costs and disbursements unless you win.
Medical Negligence Malpractice Compensation
Unfortunately not all procedures or advice by doctors or healthcare providers are correct and successful. If your doctor or healthcare provider provided you with negligent advice or performed a negligent procedure, you may be eligible to claim compensation as a result. We can obtain peer medical opinions, provide you with advice, clarity and peace of mind and claim the maximum compensation to help you move forward

“Working with Esther has been an absolute blessing during an incredibly difficult time. Anyone who has ever had to navigate an insurance claim knows just how difficult, overwhelming, and anxiety-inducing the entire process can be. Before reaching out to Withstand Lawyers, I was constantly stressed and deeply overwhelmed by the system. The firm made the initial intake process incredibly smooth, and they placed me in the hands of my lawyer, Esther. From that moment on, from the first conversation, I finally found my solid ground.
Esther has completely transformed how I navigate this unfortunate situation. Because she handles my matter directly, I have a direct line of contact with her and never have to jump through hoops to get support. Esther’s presence alone has given me immense confidence in my claim. What sets her apart is her perfect balance of professional mastery and genuine empathy. As a client, having a lawyer who truly listens and supports you when your mind is filled with doubt is a massive relief. She doesn’t just manage a file — she consistently protects her client’s peace of mind. Her recommendations are always highly logical, realistic, and clear-cut. She cuts through the legal confusion and tells you exactly where you stand, which is exactly what you need during the hardest times of your life.
I feel incredibly lucky to have Esther and her team at Withstand Lawyers by my side. For anyone out there facing a difficult time with an insurer and looking for a legal advocate who offers absolute clarity, strength, and compassion — I cannot recommend Esther highly enough. She is a truly admirable professional who genuinely cares about the people she protects. Truly grateful!”
“I have searched top lawyers (personal injury) in Sydney. I found Withstand Lawyers so I rang them up and asked I need lawyers that are nicer and more understanding despite what I am going through. They exceeded my expectations especially Issa, he always remind everyone to be more cautious when speaking to me and I really appreciate that. I am satisfied that my case (MVA) turned out to be successful. Withstand lawyers is more than 5 stars. Can’t recommend highly enough.”
“I would like to express my deepest appreciation for the incredible support I’ve received over the past 4.5 years. My case has been long, complicated, and filled with challenges, but Issa and his team stood by me through every step with genuine care, professionalism, and dedication. Their compassion has meant just as much to me as their legal expertise. They didn’t just handle my case, they helped me through some of the most difficult years of my life. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who needs genuine support, honesty, and a team that truly cares about your wellbeing.”
“Thank you Withstand Lawyer for your exceptional work, professionalism and easy process for successfully assisting me with my TPD claim. I am thankful for your support. I highly recommend Withstand Lawyers and the services they provide.”
“Had a very positive experience with Withstand Lawyers. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me informed at every stage, and responded promptly to my questions. Their attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome gave me confidence from start to finish. I truly appreciate their dedication and excellent service, and I would highly recommend Withstand Lawyers to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy service.”
