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

I engaged with Garling and Co to assist me for my weekly payment dispute with the insurance. I was upset with Natasha, as she didn't prepare me to the worse outcome or told me about the kind of... negotiation in the hearing. I assumed that as a Lawyer she should have an experience with the process or the way to solve the case. Even though I asked her what should I do or what would be happened in the hearing a week before but she didn't mentioned anything, and told me not do anything. But in the hearing she and the Barrister only gave me less than 5 minutes to make decision and pushed me to accept the disappointed outcome and what she said in the hearing totally different with what she said earlier. I don't trust her at all, her words is not consistent.I would like to express my appreciation to Matthew Garling who had stepped in to handle my weekly payment issue with the insurance. He is very professional, knowledgeable, easy to talk to and very humble. My disappointment earlier has melted away by his kindness and caring to resolve my issue which has came out the great outcome. Now I am satisfied with his expertise therefore I would not hesitate to let him to handle the case I might have in the future.As I said before I would not hesitate to let my other claim to be handled by a professional as Matthew Garling. I would like to thank him for his time and effort to settle my case smoothly and I trusted him to give me the best outcome. Also I appreciated his support and his patience to answer my questions from the time I signed the agreement up to the day before the mediation. He did not promise the unrealistic outcome but what ever he promised that what the result was according to his experiences. And I would not forget to Alison, Nathan who also have assisted this matters, by gathering all documents and answering my questions.Also my appreciation to a Barrister Mr Dallas Morgan.So, in summary I am really grateful to have Garling and Co as my lawyer to handle my damaged claim.read more

Emma, Rebecca and the team at Garling and Co have worked diligently throughout my workers compensation claim. The level of professionalism, support and communication has been faultless.

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)
