Our specialist personal injury lawyers at PK Simpson can help you claim compensation if you have been injured and believe you may have a compensation case. In NSW, all personal injury claims are made under the Civil Liability Act 2002, which defines all the legal requirements necessary for claiming compensation. The Act also governs the time-frame in which claimants must submit their personal injury claim documentation. Injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents and work injuries are the most common, but many other personal injury claims permit an injured person to be compensated for any losses.

    A Successful Personal Injury Claim

    There are many things to consider to ensure your personal injury claim is successful. Our PK Simpson lawyers know the essence of most personal injury claims is proving the negligence of the party at fault. Proving negligence can be dicey at times. If you’re injured, you have to prove that another person’s negligence caused your injuries and that they had a duty of care they failed to meet. The defence will argue that the party accused of being at fault was indeed careful, and the court may find that proper care was taken and that instead, you as the injured party, were careless. This scenario shows why it is crucial to have our experienced, skilled PK Simpson personal injury lawyers on your side to do battle and win your case.

    For over 38 years, PK Simpson solicitors have helped people in NSW make successful personal injury and accident compensation claims.

    Personal Injury Assumed Risk

    The court will find that there is no claim for personal injury compensation if it determines that you assumed the risk. If you knew there was a reasonable risk or expectation of personal injury in the activity or event in which you were injured, and the court finds this to be the case, the defendant won’t be liable. Another thing to consider is the time limit in which you must file a personal injury claim. Be aware that different time limits apply depending on the kind of claim you make, which is why you need the services of one of our specialist personal injury lawyers at PK Simpson to lodge your claim promptly and ensure a successful outcome.

    Our solicitors are experts when it comes to the intricacies of personal injury law and have the skills, experience and personnel to not only manage but win a compensation claim. We win over 99 per cent of claims, so don’t hesitate to contact PK Simpson on 1300 757 467 or book an appointment to come in and tell us about your claim.

      Frequently asked questions

      • What’s your area of expertise?
      • What success stories can you share?
      • How often have you gone to trial?
      • What’s your track record?
      • How much will I have to pay in fees?
      • Who will handle my case?
      • How will they communicate with me?
      • How long will it take to reach an outcome?

      A: The length of time you have to make your claim depends on the jurisdiction.

      For instance:

      • TPD claims – these may be commenced up to 10 years after you’ve stopped work. TPD claims are very technical and you may have more than one TPD claim.
      • Car accident claims – A personal injury claim form should be filled in and sent to your CTP insurer as early as possible, but must be no later than six months from the date of your accident. HOWEVER, out of time claims may be made. New NSW CTP laws have made it difficult for injured people and many law firms still do not understand how to run new claims under these laws – so call us at PK Simpson Sydney as soon as possible.
      • Workers compensation claims – You should contact a lawyer within six months of the accident. But remember, out of time claims can be handled by PK Simpson Sydney. We can help you get the treatment required to build your claim.
      • Slip ‘n’ fall/occupiers liability claims – Your claim must be lodged usually within three years of the date of your accident.

      Medical Negligence – within three years of the date of when the cause of action was discoverable to our client OR 12 years from the time of the act or omission which caused the injury through negligence.

      A: At PK Simpson in Sydney we act on a no win, no fee basis and an estimate of the costs will be discussed and clearly explained to you during the preliminary stages of your claim. At the end of your claim, we charge only for the work we’ve done, so if your claim is finalised faster than expected, we charge fees only up to that point. Also, we pay for all medical reports upfront.

      Unlike most law firms, we don’t charge a strict percentage which would have you paying a set figure even if the claim settles in two weeks. Costs can be affected by the type of accident, your insurer, liability and other considerations.

      A: If you’ve suffered serious bodily, psychological or reputational injuries it’s crucial that you contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. There are special skills and training and a thorough knowledge of the law required to file a personal injury lawsuit and there are time frames in which you need to lodge your claim. Especially for traffic accidents and medical negligence claims in NSW, you will need an experienced team to handle and build your claim. So the advice is to take action as soon as you are able.

      A: A personal injury lawyer will represent you if you’ve been injured in an incident or accident that was not your fault. Lawyers such as the specialists at PK Simpson Sydney work in personal injury and compensation law, encompassing deliberate acts and negligence, to claim compensation for you. Apart from all the legal work, lawyers also help you to recover faster by making sure you get the treatment and resources needed. PK Simpson pays for all medical reports needed to maximise your claim and get the best evidence.

      A: The legal definition of a personal injury is general physical and/or psychological damage to a person which is the fault of another party. This can be, for instance, the driver of another vehicle, another person, owner of a public area, or an employer. A physical injury usually involves an injury of a psychological nature or it can be one or the other. Specialist doctors are required to identify the nature of injury to round out a personal injury claim.
