Wollongong Compensation & Personal Injury Law FAQs

  • Who can make a claim for compensation?

    Any person who has been injured within Australia, as the result of another party’s negligence can make a claim for compensation.


    When the injured person is under 18, they do not have the legal capacity to bring a claim in their own right. Any claim must be brought by a ‘Tutor’ on behalf of the child. This is usually a family member.

  • Are there any time restrictions involved in the process?

    This depends on the type of personal injury claim. For example, in a motor accident claim, the accident must be reported to the police within 28 days, and you must file your claim form within six months. For other types of personal injury claims, you have three years from the date of the incident to initiate legal proceedings.



  • How long will my claim take to be finalised?

    This depends on the type of personal injury claim. Generally, a claim can take at least 12 months to finalise — allowing time for your injuries to stabilise, investigations into the degree of impairment, and settlement negotiations. If the matter goes to court, you may need to allow an additional 6–12 months.



  • How much is my claim worth?

    The value of your claim depends on the extent of your permanent injuries. We cannot provide an estimate until we have expert medical evidence assessing your level of impairment. Be wary of any solicitor who suggests a claim value without reviewing medical evidence of your actual level of impairment.

  • I was injured in a motor vehicle accident. Am I entitled to compensation?

    In New South Wales, anyone injured in a motor vehicle accident, including the at-fault driver, may claim personal injury compensation under the NSW Motor Accident Scheme. To make a claim, you must obtain the registration number of the vehicle that caused the accident and ensure the incident is reported to the police before filing an Application for Personal Injury Benefits with the CTP insurer of the at-fault driver within 28 days.



    You can then seek immediate reimbursement for reasonable and necessary medical treatment and loss of income if you are unable to work for up to 52 weeks. If you were not at fault and have sustained more serious injuries, you may be eligible for benefits beyond 52 weeks from the date of the accident.

  • I am no longer working but my hearing loss sustained at work has continued to cause me problems. What should I do?

    Contact your Wollongong compensation lawyer, who will advise you to undergo a hearing test with an audiologist. Depending on your level of hearing loss, you may be entitled to hearing aids and/or a lump sum payment. If you are still working, your claim will be against your current employer. If you are retired, it will be against your last noisy employer.

  • What should I do if I am injured in a public place?

    You should notify the responsible party as soon as possible, such as the store owner, centre management, local council or an authority. It is wise to take a copy of any incident report prepared, witness details and a copy of any CCTV footage available should also be preserved. It is also recommended that you take photographs of the incident site for evidentiary purposes. Seek medical treatment as soon as possible following the accident, before arranging to see us for advice.

  • How much will it cost to have a solicitor act for me in my personal injury claim?

    After an initial assessment, we typically operate on a contingency basis, meaning you will only be responsible for legal fees if your claim is successful. In some cases, regulated fees apply, and funding may be available. For example, workers' compensation claims may be covered by an ILARS grant from the Independent Review Office (IRO), which provides funding for legal costs and disbursements if your claim has reasonable prospects of success.
