Compensation and personal injury FAQs

If you’re considering a personal injury claim in Hobart or anywhere in Tasmania, it’s important to act quickly. Legal time limits apply, and missing them could mean losing your right to compensation.

The deadline for filing depends on the type of claim you’re making:

Car and motor vehicle accident claims

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

Public liability and medical negligence claims

These claims must be lodged within three years from the date you became aware of your injury.

Workers compensation claims

You have up to six years from the work-related injury or illness to make a claim.

TPD claims

While many TPD claims don’t have strict deadlines, acting early increases your chances of a successful outcome. Over time, it can be harder to gather evidence and insurers can be more likely to deny your claim.

Not sure if you’re still eligible? Chat to a No Win No Fee personal injury lawyer in Hobart now.

If you’ve been injured, you might be unsure whether to handle your claim alone or seek legal help. While you can pursue compensation on your own, having an experienced personal injury lawyer can significantly increase your chances of receiving the full amount you’re entitled to. This includes medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future financial losses.

Insurance companies often push for quick, lowball settlements, hoping claimants will accept less than they deserve. Without strong legal representation, you risk receiving a payout that doesn’t fully cover your current and future needs.

A skilled personal injury lawyer will manage every aspect of your claim, from gathering crucial evidence to negotiating with insurers. And with our No Win No Fee guarantee, you won’t pay anything unless we win.

Get in touch with our Hobart injury lawyers for a free consultation. We’re here to help you secure the best possible outcome.

Many law firms in Hobart promote ‘No Win No Fee’ claims, but the reality isn’t always straightforward. Some take up to 50% of your compensation, while others may still charge for court fees, expert reports, or other expenses — even if your case isn’t successful.

At Monaco, we believe in fairness and transparency. Our fees are capped at 30%, and in many cases, we recover these costs from the other party, so you keep more of your compensation.

Before we begin, we’ll provide a clear, upfront cost breakdown, ensuring there are no surprises along the way. And with our No Win No Fee guarantee, if we don’t win, you don’t pay. No hidden costs, no unexpected fees.

Yes, you have the right to change lawyers if you’re not satisfied with your current representation. Whether they’re not keeping you informed, not pushing hard enough for your claim, or simply aren’t the right fit, you’re not obligated to stay with them.

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

Not sure if changing lawyers is the right move? Get in touch with our personal injury lawyers in Hobart. We offer free second opinions, so you can get expert advice before you decide.

The compensation you may be entitled to depends on your individual circumstances but can include:

  • Lost earnings: covering wages you’ve already missed and potential future income.
  • Superannuation contributions: compensation for past and future lost payments.
  • Medical costs: including hospital bills, rehabilitation, and long-term treatment.
  • Professional and home care: if you require ongoing support due to your injury.
  • Unpaid support from loved ones: recognising care provided by family and friends.
  • Loss of caregiving ability: if your injury affects your role in supporting dependents.
  • Pain and suffering: acknowledging the impact of your injury on your quality of life.

The final compensation amount depends on factors like injury severity, pre-accident income, and your ability to return to work.

Calculating the full extent of your losses can be complex, which is why having an experienced personal injury lawyer is crucial. They’ll ensure you claim everything you’re entitled to — not just the immediate costs.

For minor injuries, payouts may only cover medical expenses and lost wages, while more serious cases can result in significantly higher compensation.

Want to know what your claim could be worth? Contact a Hobart personal injury lawyer today for expert advice.

While every personal injury claim is different, most follow a similar process in Hobart and across Tasmania:

1. Free consultation and case review

Contact our Hobart team for a no-obligation consultation. We’ll assess your situation, explain your legal options, and outline the best approach. If you proceed, your case will be handled by the same lawyer throughout the entire process.

2. Evidence collection

A strong claim requires solid proof. Your personal injury lawyer will gather key documents such as medical records, witness statements, and employment details to demonstrate the extent of your injuries and financial losses.

3. Expert evaluations

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

4. Negotiation and legal action

Most personal injury cases — over 95% — are settled through negotiation. Your lawyer will handle all discussions with insurers, working to secure the best possible compensation. If a fair settlement can’t be reached, we’ll guide you through the legal steps needed to fight for your rights.

5. Receiving compensation

Once your claim is resolved, you’ll receive your compensation as either a lump sum or structured payments, depending on your case. Our goal is to ensure you receive the maximum payout possible.

Ready to take the next step? Contact our Hobart personal injury lawyers today.

The time required to resolve a personal injury claim depends on several factors, including the complexity of your case and the severity of your injuries. While some claims are settled in a matter of months, others— especially those involving serious injuries or disputes over liability — may take longer.

The process typically involves collecting medical evidence, submitting legal documents, and negotiating with insurers. If a fair settlement is reached early, your case may conclude quickly. However, if legal proceedings are necessary, the timeline could be extended.

At Monaco, we prioritise securing the best possible outcome in the shortest time frame. During your free consultation, our Hobart personal injury lawyers will evaluate your case and provide an estimate of how long the process 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.
