Claims our NSW personal injury lawyers can assist with

For over 25 years, we’ve been helping people across NSW get the compensation they deserve.

Here are some of the most common claims we handle. Depending on your case, you might be eligible for more than one.

Why choose our compensation lawyers in NSW?

Compensation and personal injury FAQs

In NSW, personal injury claims are subject to strict time limits, which vary depending on the type of claim you’re making. Missing these deadlines could mean losing your right to compensation, so it’s important to act fast.

Car and motor vehicle accident claims

You have up to three years from the date of the accident to lodge your claim.

Public liability and medical negligence claims

These claims must be filed within three years of discovering you have a valid claim.

Workers compensation claims

You have six months from the date of the workplace injury to begin your claim.

TPD claims

Most TPD claims don’t have a strict deadline unless specified in your policy. However, lodging your claim as soon as possible is strongly advised. Delays can make it harder to collect evidence, and super funds are more likely to reject late claims.

If you’re unsure about your time limits, our NSW compensation lawyers can provide expert guidance to ensure you don’t miss out on the compensation you deserve.

If you’ve been injured, you might be wondering whether to hire a personal injury lawyer or handle the claim yourself. While it’s possible to go it alone, having expert legal representation can make a huge difference in securing the maximum compensation you’re entitled to. Beyond covering medical bills and lost income, your claim could also include pain and suffering, long-term care, and future expenses.

Insurance companies often push for quick, lowball settlements, hoping you’ll accept less than your case is worth. Without a skilled lawyer on your side, it’s easy to walk away with less than you deserve.

An experienced personal injury lawyer takes care of everything—from gathering evidence and dealing with insurers to representing you in court if necessary.

And with our No Win No Fee guarantee, there’s no financial risk in seeking legal help. Contact our NSW compensation lawyers today for a free consultation and find out how we can help you get the best possible outcome.

In NSW, many personal injury lawyers advertise ‘No Win No Fee’ services, but the reality isn’t always as simple as it sounds.

While they may cover upfront legal costs, some firms take up to 50% of your compensation, and their guarantees often come with hidden fees. This means if your claim isn’t successful, you could still be left covering expenses like court fees and expert reports.

At Monaco, we do things differently. Our No Win No Fee guarantee is exactly that — if we don’t win, you pay nothing. No hidden costs, no fine print, no surprises.

We also keep our fees fair and transparent, capped at 30% of your compensation. In many cases, we recover our legal costs from the other party, meaning you keep more (or even all) of your payout.

Before we start, we provide a clear cost breakdown so you’ll always know what to expect. Ready to start your personal injury claim? Contact us today for a free consultation.

Absolutely! If you’re unhappy with your current personal injury lawyer, you have every right to switch. Whether they’re unresponsive, not fighting hard enough for your compensation, or just don’t feel like the right fit, you don’t have to stay locked in.

If you decide to move your case to Monaco, we’ll handle everything for you — from notifying your previous lawyer to transferring your case files — so the transition is seamless and stress-free.

Still unsure if switching is the right choice? Our NSW compensation lawyers offer free second opinions to help you make an informed decision about your next steps. Get in touch today.

Your personal injury compensation may include:

  • Lost income and super: covering wages and super contributions you’ve missed and may lose in the future.
  • Medical costs: compensation for hospital bills, rehab, and ongoing treatment.
  • Professional care: if you need paid home assistance or nursing support.
  • Family and friend support: recognising unpaid care provided by loved ones.
  • Loss of dependent care: if your injury affects your ability to support dependents.
  • Pain and suffering: compensation for how the injury impacts your life.

The final payout depends on factors like the severity of your injury, your earnings before the accident, and whether you can return to work.

Since personal injury compensation is meant to restore what you’ve lost, it’s crucial to ensure all aspects of your claim are considered. That’s where an experienced lawyer comes in — someone who understands your situation, the full impact of your injury, and how to maximise your compensation.

If your injury is minor, your claim may only cover lost wages and medical costs. For severe or permanent injuries, you could be entitled to a substantial lump sum payout.

Want to know what your claim might be worth? Speak to a NSW personal injury lawyer today.

The personal injury claims process in NSW can vary depending on your case, but here’s what you can generally expect:

1. Free consultation

The first step is reaching out to our NSW personal injury lawyers for a free case review. We’ll listen to what happened, ask the right questions, and provide expert advice on your options. The lawyer you speak with will likely handle your case from start to finish.

2. Gathering key evidence

Your personal injury lawyer will collect important documents, including medical records, employment details, witness statements, and any other evidence that supports your claim. This step is crucial in proving the extent of your injuries and their impact on your life.

3. Expert assessments to strengthen your claim

We work with leading medical specialists and liability experts to build the strongest case possible. If further assessments are needed, we’ll arrange them. Throughout this process, we’ll cover all upfront costs, so you’re never a cent out of pocket.

4. Negotiations and legal proceedings begin

Once we have all the necessary evidence, we’ll initiate the legal process. Most claims (over 95%) are settled through negotiation or mediation, avoiding the need for court. Your personal injury lawyer will handle all discussions with insurers and opposing parties, fighting for the best possible outcome.

If a fair settlement isn’t reached, we’ll guide you through your legal options and the next steps.

5. Receiving compensation

Once your claim is resolved, you’ll receive your compensation — either as weekly payments or a lump sum. With our track record of success, you can feel confident that we’ll secure the maximum payout you’re entitled to.

The time it takes to settle a personal injury claim varies based on several factors, such as the complexity of your case, the severity of your injuries, and whether liability is disputed. While some claims are resolved within months, others — especially those involving serious injuries or disputes over legal responsibility — may take longer.

Typically, the process involves multiple stages, including collecting evidence, filing paperwork, and negotiating with insurers. If an early settlement isn’t reached, further legal action may be necessary, which can extend the timeline.

At Monaco, we’re committed to securing the best possible outcome as efficiently as possible. During your free consultation, our personal injury lawyers will assess your case and provide a realistic estimate of how long your claim may take.

Monaco helped me get much more compensation than I expected.

Monaco Lawyers helped me to receive compensation for an ongoing injury I sustained after I was simply driving home from work and was driven into head on by an incompetent and negligent driver who I believe was texting at the time of the accident.

StarStarStarStarStar

I am forever thankful! God bless you for being there for me whenever I called.

Monaco Compensation Lawyers are second to no-one. Anthony and his team were there for me every step of the way. When I got disheartened or down, I would make one phone call to the team at Monaco Solicitors, and they were there for me instantly—reassuring me and consoling me.

StarStarStarStarStar

Good result! We had a complicated claim but they got the job done.

My brothers and I had a complicated claim. I found Ben Ralph to be very helpful, himself and Sally Sutton worked hard for just over a year to get through our claim. They achieved a good result and got the monies paid to myself and my brothers.

I knew it from the very first phone call: I had found a compassionate law firm.

Monaco Solicitors, I have no hesitation in recommending Daniella Dababneh and her team. After I suffered a serious workplace accident, I was in need of legal help.

StarStarStarStarStar

Thank you for accomplishing so much in such a short time.

Great communication, empathy and understanding. My case worker Daniella was a saint, understanding and patient and always passing on any updates in record time.

Monaco is the place to go for a lawyer that cares. You're in safe hands.

They helped me when I needed it the most. Monaco are very informative and genuinely care about the outcome of your matter. Navigating the CTP, ICP and TPD system can be very overwhelming. They reduce this where every they can.

StarStarStarStarStar

They helped me juggle my injury claim and my mum's full-time care.

I highly recommend Monaco Solicitors. I was claiming PI through my superannuation for workplace injuries. They were doing a no win no fee which was great as I am a carer for my mum and don’t earn much.

StarStarStarStarStar

The bill? Surprisingly reasonable, less than expected.

Sally was very helpful and always kept me up-to-date so if you ever use Monaco Solicitors just make sure you get Sally she’s very good. And the bill was very reasonable I thought it would be higher.

I'm glad my friend recommended Monaco. I was happy with the result.

Green Slip Claim: I switched from another Law firm to Monaco on advice from a friend. I am so glad I did, within weeks I was sent off for further scans which led to proof of the pain I was in. All throughout the claim process I was kept up to date. Once settled I was more than happy with the end result. I would definitely recommend Monaco Compensation Lawyers, thanks.

Monaco's help reduced a 12-month process to just a few months.

My father originally found Monaco online for super claims,. They had discussed with him in great detail the processes and had been kind and very helpful a few years ago. When needing help with my mothers super claim I knew I could trust Monaco again.
