Garling and Co. are an exceptional outfit. Matthew Garling is a talented lawyer and supported and surrounded by a great team of people including Allison Luck and others. What made Matthew... particularly impressive with my case were his ability to communicate complex legal processes and simplify options for the next steps, his genuine interest in the law, and his passion to seek appropriate compensation on my behalf. He was not ready to settle my case until I was ready to settle the case. I am very grateful to have had Garling and Co. 'in my corner' and would not hesitate to recommend this business to others.read more

I was referred to Garling & Co Lawyers, after previously retaining another law firm who failed to progress my matter for a period verging on three years.This was extremely frustrating and damaging,... causing me a lot of unnecessary stress and unreasonable delays. After my first conference with Matthew, he understood the challenges that I had faced and that I wanted to resolve my matter with the defendant reasonably and in a timely manner.My matter was resolved at mediation and during the process, Matthew and Dallas Morgan (barrister), professionally communicated the procedure to me and they negotiated a reasonable settlement, that I was comfortable in accepting.Thank you to Matthew and Allison for being patient with me during the most challenging time of my life. I can now move on with my life and heal. Had I not retained Garling & Co Lawyers, I highly doubt my matter would ever have been resolved.read more

Garling and Co have been the best lawyers. Kerry and Matthew have worked and been working on my case for a long time now. They have worked so hard and fought for my case every step of the way. They... are highly experienced in what they do, and are compassionate at the same time. I highly recommend this firm. My life changed in an instant when I was hit by a car, I will be forever grateful for the help they've given me. 10/10read more

Frequently Asked Questions

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

For forklift accident claims, there are strict time limits for lodging your claim. The time limit varies depending on your particular circumstances and you need to obtain advise from an experienced lawyer in this area. So, if you’ve been injured in a forklift accident, it’s vital that you seek legal advice as soon as possible so the opportunity to make your forklift accident claim doesn’t slip away.

2. What can I claim forklift accident compensation for?

When it comes to forklift accident compensation claims, each situation is different. However, there are a certain list of things that you may be able to claim for, including:

Loss of past and future earnings
Permanent impairment compensation
Return to work services
Medical, hospital and rehabilitation services
Travel and home nursing expenses
Psychological suffering
Loss of superannuation
General damages
Interest

3. Who will pay the forklift injury compensation?

Should your claim be successful, your forklift injury compensation will be paid for by your employer’s workplace compensation insurance (if the injury occurred in the workplace) or by the CTP insurer if the Motor Accident Injuries Act applies.

4. How much does it cost to make a forklift accident claim?

At Garling & Co, our forklift accident lawyers operate on a No Win No Fee basis, so if we don’t win your forklift accident claims case, then you won’t pay us a cent!

It’s important to make sure you understand how your lawyer will charge legal costs, how much you will be charged and when the legal costs are payable. If you sign a costs agreement without first understanding the terms, you may end up with a very large legal bill for your forklift accident claim that you weren’t expecting!
