      For over 25 years, our personal injury lawyers have been dedicated to securing fair compensation for Canberra residents.

      Below are some of the most common claims we handle. Depending on your circumstances, you could be eligible for more than one type of claim.

      Why are we the best compensation lawyers in Canberra?

      Leon Monaco founded our firm in 1999 with one goal: to make quality legal representation accessible to all Australians.

      Over the past 25 years, we’ve helped thousands of clients win their claims and expanded to 29 offices nationwide, including right here in Canberra. Despite this growth, our commitment remains the same: ensuring everyday Australians receive fast, fair, and affordable compensation.

      Compensation and personal injury FAQs

      If you’re thinking about filing a personal injury claim in Canberra or anywhere in the ACT, it’s crucial to act fast. Strict deadlines apply, and missing them could mean losing your right to compensation.

      The timeframe for lodging a claim depends on the type of injury:

      Car and motor vehicle accident claims

      Depending on the type of claim, you may have between 13 weeks and 3 years from the accident date to take legal action.

      Public liability and medical negligence claims

      You must file your claim within three years of the date of the accident or injury.

      Workers compensation claims

      Claims must be lodged within three years of discovering your work-related injury or illness.

      TPD claims

      While most TPD claims don’t have strict deadlines (unless stated in your policy), acting quickly is essential. The longer you wait, the harder it can be to collect evidence, and super funds are more likely to reject delayed claims.

      If you’ve suffered an injury, you might be wondering whether to hire a lawyer or handle the claim yourself. While you can go it alone, having an experienced personal injury lawyer can greatly improve your chances of securing the full compensation you’re entitled to. This includes more than just medical costs and lost earnings, but also pain, suffering, and future financial losses.

      Insurance companies often push for quick, lowball settlements, hoping claimants accept less than they deserve. Without legal representation, you could end up with a payout that doesn’t fully cover your expenses or long-term needs.

      An experienced personal injury lawyer takes care of everything, from gathering crucial evidence to negotiating with insurers on your behalf. Plus, with our No Win No Fee guarantee, you won’t pay a cent unless we win your case.

      Contact our compensation lawyers in Canberra for a free consultation, and let’s discuss how we can help you secure the payout you deserve.

      Many Canberra law firms advertise ‘No Win No Fee’ services, but the fine print can tell a different story. Some take as much as 50% of your compensation, while others may leave you covering additional costs — like court fees or expert reports — even if your claim is unsuccessful.

      At Monaco, we do things differently. Our fees are capped at 30%, and in many cases, we recover these costs from the other party — meaning you keep more of your payout.

      Before we take on your case, we’ll provide a clear, upfront breakdown of costs—so there are no surprises. And with us, our No Win No Fee guarantee means exactly that: if we don’t win, you don’t pay. No hidden fees. No unexpected bills.

      Absolutely, you can. If you’re unhappy with your current personal injury lawyer, you have every right to switch. Whether they’re not communicating effectively, not fighting hard enough for your compensation, or simply don’t feel like the right fit — you’re not stuck with them.

      If you choose to move your case to Monaco, we’ll handle the entire transition for you. That includes contacting your previous lawyer, transferring your case files, and ensuring a smooth handover — without the hassle.

      Still unsure if switching is the right choice? Our Canberra compensation lawyers offer free second opinions, giving you the clarity and expert advice you need before making a decision.

      The amount of compensation you may receive depends on your unique situation, but it can include:

      • Lost income: covering wages you’ve already missed and any future earning potential.
      • Superannuation contributions: both past and future payments.
      • Medical expenses: hospital bills, rehabilitation, and long-term treatment costs.
      • Professional care and home assistance: if your injury requires ongoing support.
      • Support from family and friends: recognising unpaid care provided by loved ones.
      • Loss of ability to care for dependents: if your injury affects your role as a caregiver.
      • Pain and suffering: compensation for how the injury impacts your quality of life.

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

      Compensation is meant to restore what you’ve lost — but calculating the full impact can be challenging. That’s why having a skilled personal injury lawyer is so important. They’ll ensure your claim includes everything you’re entitled to, not just the immediate costs.

      For minor injuries, compensation may only cover lost wages and medical bills, while more serious, life-changing injuries could lead to a much larger payout.

      Curious about what your claim might be worth? Speak with a Canberra personal injury lawyer today.

      While every personal injury claim is unique, most cases in Canberra and the ACT follow a similar process:

      1. Free consultation

      Start by reaching out to one of our Canberra personal injury solicitors. We’ll review your situation, explain your rights, and discuss your options. If you choose to proceed, the same lawyer will manage your case from start to finish.

      2. Gathering evidence

      A strong claim requires solid evidence. Your personal injury lawyer will collect key documents, such as medical reports, employment records, and witness statements, to establish the extent of your injury and its impact on your life.

      3. Expert assessments

      We work with top medical specialists and industry experts to strengthen your case. If additional reports, expert opinions, or medical assessments are needed, we’ll arrange them at no upfront cost to you.

      4. Negotiation and legal action

      Once your case is built, we begin the legal process. The majority of personal injury claims — over 95% — are resolved through negotiation rather than going to court. Your lawyer will handle all discussions with the insurer, fighting to secure the best possible outcome.

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

      5. Receiving your compensation

      With a proven history of securing strong results, our goal is to maximise your payout. Once your claim is resolved, you’ll receive your compensation as a lump sum or through structured payments.

      Ready to get started? Contact our Canberra personal injury lawyers today.

      The length of time required to settle a personal injury claim varies depending on factors such as the complexity of the case and the severity of your injuries. Some claims are resolved within months, while others— especially those involving serious injuries or contested liability — may take longer.

      The process generally includes gathering medical evidence, filing necessary legal paperwork, and negotiating with insurers. If an early settlement is reached, the case may conclude quickly. However, if further legal steps are required, the timeline can be extended.

      At Monaco, we focus on achieving the best possible outcome as efficiently as possible. During your free consultation, our Canberra personal injury solicitors will assess your situation and provide an estimated timeframe for your claim.

      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.

      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.

      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 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.

      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.

      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.
