My last stage of Workers compensation claim was managed by Emma Perkins, Natasha Stojanovic, Rebecca Dunshea and Kelli Robinson at Garling and Co. Lawyers who went the extra mile with their service... from the beginning to the end of 3 years of my case. I have become very anxious with almost everything after a workplace injury and a lot of times I probably ask more questions than I need to, but Emma Perkins always finds clear answers to my questions in a short time and explains to me patiently even using her mealtime or between her meeting and make me feel that I have been very well take care and supported. I am so grateful and extremely satisfied. The excellent service, attitude, and culture of Metthew Garling and his team are second to none with a very high success rate. If you going to battle with your workplace injury for a short or long period, you are better off with Garling and Co. lawyers who are able back you up every step of the way. I strongly recommend it to anybody who needs their service like me. Julieread more

Work cover fund is GOVT’S money but insurer think that it is from their 14th generation. So only they can have it. Not only that, people from the work, IME doctor from insurer, back to work... coordinator from work, Rehab provider from any side push the worker as hard as possible that the worker (doesn’t matter how the workers mental or psychical condition) either go back to his pre injury duty or leave the job.More over on that very bumpy any difficult journey some of them only treat the worker as a MONEY MAKING MECHINE .in some point worker feels like, no rooms to breath. On that moment need someone to support legally, someone to care, someone to relive.On my case I believe that, somehow, I manage to make my God happy. That’s why God sends me to Matthew Gerling and his team Allison, Rebecca and Nathan, and all of GARLING & co Lawyers.I am not good enough in English, can’t express my gratitude.Matthew, Allison, Rebecca and Nathan, please accept my appreciation and pass it to others.read more

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are there time limits or restrictions on when I can make a bus accident claim?

Being in a bus accident is likely an extremely traumatic experience, and may have affected you physically, emotionally or financially.

It’s important to get in touch with qualified bus accident lawyers and make your bus accident compensation claim as soon as possible after the incident has occurred. Strict time limits apply for making bus accident compensation claims, and if you miss the cut-off then it may prevent your ability to receive compensation.

2. What can I claim bus accident compensation for?

Buses are a public service provided to you by the state or area you live in, and should be a safe mode of transport for all commuters. If you’ve been involved in a bus accident, you may be able to claim for:

  • Loss of past and future earnings
  • Pain and suffering damages
  • Return to work services
  • Medical, hospital and rehabilitation services
  • Cost of home and vehicle modifications
  • Travel and home nursing expenses
  • Psychological suffering
  • Loss of superannuation

3. What's the bus accident claims process?

The process for bus accident injury claims can be complex, and it’s best to seek legal support as soon as possible to guide you through the journey to receiving bus accident compensation. The experienced and professional bus accident lawyers at Garling & Co are here to help you through the bus accident claims process and provide you with excellent legal advice.

We understand that daily life is probably a struggle post-accident and you may be suffering from pain – that’s why we aim to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve as soon as possible.

Here is a brief explanation of the legal process followed by the bus accident lawyers at Garling & Co.

  1. You get in contact with Garling & Co
  2. We have an initial consultation and assess whether you have a case
  3. We draft and lodge initial documents
  4. We build your case, collecting supporting information and medical reports
  5. Settlement negotiations occur with relevant parties
  6. If a settlement can be reached, then the case concludes
  7. If a settlement cannot be reached, your claim is determined by an independent Assessor

4. Who will pay the bus injury compensation?

If you are successful in receiving compensation for your public transport accident claim, the compensation amount will likely be paid by the insurance company of the bus operator. All bus companies are covered by insurance to protect their drivers in the case of accidents, so the individual driver themselves will not be liable to pay.

5. How much does it cost to make a bus accident claim?

We know that sustaining an injury (whether physical or psychological) is already a very stressful time and going through the public transport accident claims process can add to this stress.

That’s why the bus injury lawyers at Garling & Co, work on a No Win No Fee basis, so if we don’t win your bus accident compensation claim – you won’t pay us a cent!
