Frequently Asked Questions
1/ What can I claim for personal injury?
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.
2/ How does a personal injury claim work?
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.
3/ How long does a personal injury claim take to settle?
Most personal injury compensation claims in NSW take between 9-18 months to settle; 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)
