What is personal injury compensation?
Personal injury compensation covers financial losses suffered as a result of a personal injury caused by another person’s negligence and paid out by their insurer. Personal injury can be physical or psychological injuries that cause financial and life hardship due to loss of income or the cost of treatment. Lawyers for personal injury can help you understand your rights and entitlements and help you receive the compensation you deserve.
Different Personal Injury Claims:
Workers’ Compensation Claims
If you’ve been injured or become ill as part of your work, you may be eligible to make a workers’ compensation claim. Injuries can include physical or psychological and can also be claimed for pre-existing injuries or conditions made worse by work.
Motor Vehicle Accident Claims
No matter how minor you think your motor vehicle accident may be, you could be eligible for compensation. If you’re a driver, cyclist, or pedestrian injured by another driver, our specialist team of personal injury attorneys can assist you with making a claim.
If you’re a driver, cyclist or pedestrian injured by another driver, our specialist team of personal injury attorneys can assist with making your claim. Our expert team can guide you through the often difficult process to ensure you received the compensation you are entitled to.
Medical Negligence Claims
If you’ve experienced negligent medical treatment or been injured while in the care of a healthcare provider, you may be eligible for compensation. Medical negligence occurs when a health professional or provider fails to deliver competent medical treatment that results in an injury.

Personal Injury FAQs
Personal injury settlements often include compensation for:
- Medical and care expenses incurred as a result of your injury or illness
- Income lost through time off work
- Future lost wages
- Travel expenses to and from medical appointments
- Home care expenses
- An amount to cover the pain and suffering you’ve endured
What you can claim and the amount of personal injury compensation you may be eligible for depends on the extent of your injuries. As a general guide, you can claim for any losses you’ve experienced. For serious injuries, you may also be eligible to claim for future losses and your overall pain and suffering.
Personal injury compensation claims are typically paid by an insurer working to reduce your compensation and minimise your claim. Because of this, most people use Accredited Specialists in personal injury law to properly prepare their claim and give themselves the best chance of receiving the compensation they deserve. When you use a personal injury attorney, your personal injury claim will undergo these steps with an insurer:
- Your personal injury lawyer will assess your claim, identify the insurer, and provide advice on how to proceed.
- Your claim will be submitted to the insurer; evidence and medical reports will also be collected and presented to prove your claim.
- If the insurer accepts your claim, they will offer to settle your claim and compensate you. Your personal injury lawyer can tell you if the offer is reasonable or if you’re being unfairly compensated.
- If the insurer denies your claim or an agreement can’t be reached, you’ll have the option to take the matter to court.
At Garling & Co, our specialist team of personal injury lawyers help you maximise your compensation on a No Win No Fee policy.
Most personal injury compensation claims in NSW take between 2 to 3 years from the date of the injury to resolve; however, it can take longer, depending on your claim.
The amount of time it takes to settle depends on:
- The amount of time needed for necessary medical assessments
- Whether the insurer accepts liability for your injuries or illness
- If an agreed settlement with the insurer is reached quickly (if an agreement can’t be reached, claims can take longer than 18 months to settle)
