Our personal injury lawyers are dedicated to fighting for the best possible outcome in your case. This commitment has earned us multiple industry awards, including recognition as ‘Compensation Law Firm of the Year 2020 GBM Global Awards.’
For more than 25 years, our personal injury lawyers have been helping Adelaide locals get the compensation they deserve.
Here are some of the most common claims we handle. And remember — depending on your situation, you may qualify for multiple claims.
Leon Monaco established our firm in 1999 with a clear vision: to make legal support accessible to all Australians.
Now, 25 years and thousands of successful claims later, we’ve expanded to 29 locations across the country, including our Adelaide CBD office. Despite our growth, our mission remains unchanged — helping Australians secure fast, fair, and affordable compensation.
When you choose a personal injury lawyer from our Adelaide team, you’ll get:
If you’re considering a personal injury claim in Adelaide or anywhere in South Australia, it’s important to act fast — strict time limits apply, and missing a deadline could mean losing your right to compensation.
The exact timeframe varies depending on the type of claim:
You typically have three years from the accident date to file your claim.
The deadline is three years from the date you became aware that you had grounds for a claim.
You must start your claim within six months of your workplace injury or illness.
Most TPD claims don’t have strict deadlines unless specified in your policy. However, it’s best to file as soon as possible — delays can make gathering evidence more difficult, and in our experience, super funds are more likely to reject late claims.
If you’ve been injured, you might be wondering whether you really need a lawyer or if you can manage the claim on your own. While it’s possible to go solo, having an experienced personal injury lawyer on your side can significantly improve your chances of securing the full compensation you deserve — not just for medical bills and lost wages, but also for pain, suffering, and future financial impacts.
Insurance companies often try to settle quickly and for as little as possible, hoping claimants accept less than they’re entitled to. Without strong legal representation, you could end up with a payout that doesn’t fully cover your losses.
A skilled personal injury lawyer will handle everything, from collecting critical evidence to negotiating with insurers. And with our No Win No Fee guarantee, there’s no financial risk to you. Get in touch today for a free consultation and find out how we can help you get the compensation you deserve.
Many personal injury law firms in Adelaide promote ‘No Win No Fee’ services, promising you won’t have to pay unless they win your case. But the reality isn’t always that simple.
Some firms take up to 50% of your compensation, and even if your case is unsuccessful, their No Win No Fee policy might only cover legal fees — leaving you responsible for other costs like court fees and expert reports.
At Monaco, we believe in fair and transparent pricing. Our fees are capped at 30%, and in many cases, we recover these costs from the other party. This means you keep more of your total payout.
Before we move forward with your claim, we’ll give you a full cost breakdown upfront. And with us, our No Win No Fee guarantee means exactly that — if we don’t win, you don’t pay.
Yes, you absolutely can. If your current personal injury lawyer isn’t keeping you informed, isn’t pushing hard enough for your compensation, or simply doesn’t feel like the right fit, you’re not obligated to stay with them.
If you decide to switch to Monaco, we’ll take care of everything — contacting your previous lawyer, transferring your case files, and making sure the handover is completely hassle-free.
Not sure if making the switch is the right move? Our compensation lawyers in Adelaide offer free second opinions, so you can get expert advice before making a decision.
The compensation you receive will depend on your specific case, but it may include:
The amount you’re entitled to depends on factors such as the severity of your injury, your earnings before the accident, and whether you can return to work.
Compensation aims to restore what you’ve lost, but calculating the full impact of an injury can be complex. That’s why working with an experienced personal injury lawyer is essential. They’ll ensure you claim everything you’re entitled to, not just the obvious costs.
For minor injuries, compensation may only cover lost wages and medical expenses. But for serious, life-changing injuries, you could be entitled to a much larger payout.

While every case is different, most personal injury claims in Adelaide and South Australia follow a similar path:
Get in touch with our Adelaide team, and one of our experienced personal injury lawyers will assess your situation. They’ll explain your rights, outline your options, and provide expert legal advice. If you choose to proceed with us, the same lawyer will handle your case from beginning to end.
To build a strong case, your lawyer will gather essential documents from doctors, employers, and witnesses. This helps prove the extent of your injury and its impact on your life.
We collaborate with top medical and liability experts to strengthen your claim. Any specialist reports, expert opinions, or required medical tests will be arranged at no upfront cost to you.
Once the evidence is ready, we begin the legal process. Over 95% of personal injury cases are settled outside of court through negotiation. Your lawyer will handle discussions with the insurer, working to secure the best outcome for you.
If a settlement can’t be reached, your lawyer will guide you through the next steps and discuss your legal options.
With a strong track record of success, our team is committed to maximising your payout. Once your case is finalised, you’ll receive your compensation as either a lump sum or structured payments.
The time it takes to resolve a personal injury claim depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries and the complexity of your case. While some claims can be settled within a few months, others — particularly those involving serious injuries or disputes over liability — may take longer.
The process typically involves several stages, such as collecting medical reports, submitting legal documents, and negotiating with insurance companies. If a fair settlement is reached early, your case may conclude sooner. However, if further legal action is needed, the timeline can be extended.
At Monaco, we work efficiently to secure the best possible outcome in the shortest time frame. During your free consultation, our Adelaide personal injury lawyers will review your case and provide a clear estimate of how long the process may take.
When you walk through our doors, our top priority is to help you as much as we can. This commitment is shown in over 200 5-star reviews.
We offer a free consultation to assess your case, explain your options, and answer your questions. It's fast, confidential, and obligation-free.
