Our personal injury lawyers are committed to getting the best result in every case. That’s why we’ve been recognised with top industry awards, including ‘Compensation Law Firm of the Year 2020 GBM Global Awards.’
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.
Back in 1999, Leon Monaco set out with a simple mission: to make quality legal representation accessible to all Australians.
Fast forward 25 years: we’ve helped thousands of clients win their claims and expanded to 14 offices across NSW (and even more nationwide). But our core focus remains the same — helping people secure the compensation they deserve, quickly and affordably.
When you work with our NSW compensation lawyers, you can count on:
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.
You have up to three years from the date of the accident to lodge your claim.
These claims must be filed within three years of discovering you have a valid claim.
You have six months from the date of the workplace injury to begin your claim.
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:
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.

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